    Hen or rooster? Breed? 🌀🤨

    Hi, I’m hoping someone can help me figure this out!! I’m looking to adopt another hen from my local shelter. This bird was listed as a hen on the website and they said was returned to the shelter for being a rooster with no other explanation. I went to go take a look at her/him and still can’t...

    What is this thing? (11 week old cochin)

    Some backstory. We ordered 5 unsexed cochins from a hatchery, along with some other birds. As of this post, they are 11 weeks old. We thought we were able to vent sex this brown one as a male, but we have doubts. We're not experienced with vent sexing, so don't fully trust our judgement with it...

    I did it again. I swear I only needed dog food. It is their fault for having the baby chicks in the same aisle 🤣. But I am not mad, ok well, my husband is...lol. So these were at TSC as "cochins". Can someone tell me which kind and color they are going to turn into? I got 4, two that look black...

    Is this a Red Cochin? 15 weeks

    I bought three 6 week old chicks from a neighbor about 3 months ago and I cannot figure out what this guy(or girl) is. The lady said she bought them from a feed store and two are for sure Cochins, one is a bantam Brahma, and the other she couldn’t remember the breed. The older this one gets the...

    Cochin gender?

    6 weeks old. This one’s comb is already red compared to the others, and is a little bigger. I was thinking cockerel 🤔?

    Cochin gender?

    Trying to help a friend figure out gender. She said she got this Cochin from a breeder eight months ago who claimed the chicken was ten months during the time. Has not crowed or laid eggs yet. 🤔

    Cockrel?

    I have a 7 1/2 qeek old bantam cochin and I'm just not sure about it! We have another one hatched the same day that is most definitely a cockrel (labeled B1). Here is a pic for reference. But this other one I just can't tell. It has a pretty significant comb, but it's not red like the other's...

    Black Cochin hen going blind!??

    We thought Peeps must have been pecked in an eye. She kept keeping it closed so we treated the eye as if it was. She is losing weight and the hen who she hung out with her whole life is pushing her away. Took them for a walk yesterday and shes stumbling over things which are close and under...

    Who’s gonna have bantam Cochins this spring?

    Not looking for anything fancy — buff, black, splash, whatever. My kiddos love bantams and I’ve been talked into getting a few. I know the hatcheries will have them, but I’m hoping another breeder might. No luck finding any local yet (south MS). Thanks!

    What color is my bantam cochin?

    This is Chrissy my frizzled bantam cochin pullet I got as an extra egg with silkie eggs I bought. Now she just kinda lives with my silkies and 2 other non-silkie hens. I believe she is a black with gold leakage, but she has a couple white tips on her foot feathers. Is that some kind of leakage...
