Hi there - my partridge cochin seems to have a ho"Ooops, word censored!" voice, like a party blower, but more as if she's developing a really earthy cluck.

 

She's 16 weeks old.

 

What sort of voice does yours have?

 

*mumbling* not that I'm worried Rasputia might by Norbit or Rasputin or anything.

 

Other than that, feathers look like girl colouration and she has a tiny comb (just starting to pink up now).

 

My legbar, on the other hand, is still teeny, I'm not convinced that she's the 16 weeks that I was told, but the breeder's reputable.

my CLB Rusty is a bit on the small side she about 26 weeks

have a look here

My Cochins "honk" like little trains . They are loud at egg announcing though! (the loudest of my flock).

[brambles]

Thanks Chelsea - you're right, it does sound like a train!

 

Do you get many eggs from your cochins? What sort of size?

[cluckingmad]

Did I hear my name mentioned?!

 

Pumpkin our partridge cochin does indeed sound like a small train its a definate honk, she's most definately a she tho', teensy comb, no boyish facial features at all and a right little Madam when it comes to being caught too She's not started laying yet, but then she's still only little at a mere 17 weeks old now...

 

Freckles my speckled sussex has the cutest little cluck ever... its a real baby/chick noise, almost apologetic - just adds to her many charms in my opinion (that and her habit of perching on my shoulder like a little speckled parrot really makes my day!

[brambles]

awww that's really good to hear. I was getting worried I was going to have a mahoosive cockerel! Mine's a week younger than yours, clucking - fab aren't they!

[cluckingmad]

They are fab wee things My OH is so in love with Pumpkin that he now wants more cochins so shes not the only hen with fluffy feet.... And he says I'M bad?!

[brambles]

They are great, aren't they? I even caught my husband hand feeding ours this morning, having suggested we let them freerange as it was too nice for them to be cooped up
