brambles Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 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.

chelsea Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 My Cochins "honk" like little trains . They are loud at egg announcing though! (the loudest of my flock). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brambles Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 Thanks Chelsea - you're right, it does sound like a train! Do you get many eggs from your cochins? What sort of size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckingmad Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 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 Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
