We love, love , LOVE our Cochins. They are docile and dont mind a snuggle or 2. My youngest (6yo) loves them and wants more. They lay about every other day which is fine with us. Our white one lays a nice cream colored egg and the two black ones lay a light brown freckled egg. They are a hoot and its so funny to see them run away as they more so hop from side to side when they "run." Fluffy is an understatement and are SOOO soft! You wont be sorry with Cochins.
