Looking to see some pics of Cochin bantams

[LindsaykayeBollinger]

Hello there! I keep cochin bantams and breed for fun! I just made an order for some golden laced, black and white mottled, self blue and birchen. I’ve never raised these before and would love to see them at any age. Any info on particular colors or advice would be accepted with JOY! Thank y’all. Also I’m brand new here so if you have any advice on that haha

I hope you get plenty of replies because I love cochin bantams (I have two and, no, I don't have any decent photos) and would love to see others' pictures.

Hope you have a great time here at BYC! It's one of my favorite places to hang out.

Hello! I currently have a beautiful trio of cochin bantams, my rooster and one hen are black, my second hen is birchen. My birchen went broody recently and hatched out 6 eggs that I had given her, she has accepted more chicks and is now up to 14 lol I have roughly about 15ish cochin bantam chicks that I have bred and hatched, all are from my black pair, I've yet to have eggs set and hatch from my birchen. I have gotten a pair of white cochin bantams, some white with dusty colored leakage, and black chicks. I have also hatched 3 "odd" colored chicks... I really don't know what to call them. All three hatched out white, but feathered out starting with black. My oldest chick, I'm hoping it's a pullet, is gorgeous with browns and black on her. I'll post better pictures tomorrow of everyone. I absolutely love the breed overall, very curious and friendly, and excellent broody mama hens. The pair of blacks Birchen hen sitting on eggs Freshly hatched cochin bantams Pair of black cockerels Pullet/cockerel pair of white And lastly, my oddball. There's two others starting to look like her.

Here are some more photos to contribute!

Hylia as a pullet!

Holly, Hylia, and Red, when they were younger! They are not quite a year yet! They will be sometime this summer!

Holly has gone broody for the second time, and then Hylia decided to go broody!

Here was Hylia during the rainy season!
She isn't muddy anymore, but I have been trying to get some of the stains out!

Holly, Hylia, and Red all grown up!

Hylia, also broody!

And Red, with all of his gals!

(By the way, here is Bootsie, a mature cockerel he is!)

(He's a hunk and he knows it! )

@Athena2344, what did the little oddball turn out like? I love that color!
