cochin bantam

Hello all. One of my cochin bantams became broody so we allowed her to hatch out a few eggs fertilized by our silkie rooster. She hatched three and they have been doing quite well with her out in the coop. Most days we shut the mama up in the coop with the little ones with their own food and...

I got these babes 6 days ago in the evening. They haven’t had a roo since being here but had one at their old home. I have an incubator arriving tomorrow. So far I’ve only got one egg that hasn’t been refrigerated. I want to hatch out babes as I can’t have another roo so won’t be getting a...

Hey guys! We are a local dairy goat farm located in Nottingham, New Hampshire that sells all natural bath and body care products, including goat milk soap! We have three Mile Fleur d’Uccle X Cochin chicks available that are a week old and a few more that will be hatching out next week! They are...

here are my mixed babies again! they're almost eight weeks old so I'm hoping it's a little easier to tell who's what. the rooster was a a birchen Cochin and the Mama's were birchen Cochin, golden laced Cochin, and mille fleur d'uccle. I'm mostly looking for sex but if you have a guess on who's...

I am thinking pullet but want other opinions. Early on I thought she was blue laced red (with pencilling?).... now I have no clue. Is she blue laced red? Blue and red partridge? Mottled? Some combination of all of the above? Also, is she even a she? I was told she was a cochin/sablepoot mix...

I have a breeding trio of cochin bantams, a rooster/hen pair of blacks, and a Birchen hen. The pair of blacks have produced solid black and solid white chicks, and then I've had these three chicks that are absolutely gorgeous, I love the colors on them, but I am at a loss as to what their color...

I just got a 6 month old silkie/Cochin mix. They said she's a rooster, but she looks like a hen to me. What gender is she?

Just wanted to share some good pictures of our flock.

This is a little Cochin chick I got today. The dad is lavender and looks to have the isabella partridge markings. Mom looks to be a silver laced cochin (maybe silver partridge? I have a hard time telling since some partridges I've seen have lacing and others don't) - just googled it actually and...

So for right now I am getting back into chickens since I had my baby. I’m getting basic breeds for pets/ eggs. I also wanted some hatching eggs or chicks for showing as my child got older. I always wanted to show chickens since I was a little girl and raised chickens for years. I don’t know...

Need advice please! My bantam Cochin rooster is not feeling well. I noticed about 2 days ago that his crow was off. Sounded like he was losing his voice. I gave him and his ladies some warm oatmeal with honey. Upon reading a bunch found it could possibly Be respiratory issues. The next morning...

Hello, I have a 4 month old bantam frizzle Cochin rooster mixed with my flock of 11 4-5 month old chickens and one other rooster that is extremely docile (standard breed size). Now the bantam bites the hens in the neck and tail area. My mother in law wants me to get rid of it but they’re my...

New to chickens. We purchased a baker's dozen bantam pullets before they were sexed and nearly half are cockerels. About six months old now. They are lovely birds, no fighting, but not good for our neighborhood. Looking to rehome to a backyard or soup pot. Hunterdon County, NJ Bethlehem Twp

Hi! I have a 13 day old bantam Cochin cutie here! Can anyone tell me what color he/she is? The pics don't show it very well but it's a very light silver all over with white too... now it's wing feathers are grey tipped and frizzled! What a personality on this baby!

When did your bantam cochins start laying? Mine is 13 weeks old with bright red comb and wattles, and she squats when I put my hand over her back. I wasn't expecting eggs anytime soon because I've heard that cochins take a long time to mature, but she appears to be ready to lay. Is it possible...
