New Chicks!!!
OMG! Last year was exciting having so many cochin babies, but they were all basically the same colour. This rainbow of colours is just so different and so beautiful!! The photo here to the left shows the older cochin chick. She was very happy to see some friends, as she has been on her own for a few days.
This photo was taken last night. Half of them are less than 24 hours old, and as you can see, they're all exhausted, with their heads flat on the floor!!! Can you see the buff (tan) one on the far right has a black stripe on her head? Cute!
The black ones have a light tan on their heads, can't wait to see how they turn out when they are bigger!!
They are all soooo cute! Born either Tues the 13th or Wed the 14th September! There are a total of 11, 3 buff, 2 white, 6 black and the older cochin makes 12!! Father is Henry, the buff orpington (now sold to Liz), and the mothers could be
Orpington
White Sussex
New Hampshire Brown
Rhode Island Reds
how exciting it will be to see how they grow!!
