Would this be a blue/calico? Got her as a chick so I don’t have the parents, I want to get more like this I have a blue cockerel would that be a recommended pair up ?
I have a hen that is from a lavender Orpington rooster and buff Orpington hen. I don't have a picture of her right now, but I can get one later. What do you think I would get if I bred her to my blue Cochin bantam roo? Any ideas are super appreciated!! Also, ive hatched out a couple chicks from...
My chicken, Soap, is a giant blue cochin. She's 16 weeks old and her feathers look scruffier compared the other two (also 16 weeks old). She dust bathes and preens so I'm wondering if this is genetic. She doesn't seem ill at all.
I have five, 8-week olds with momma in a run adjacent to the rest of my flock. Broody hen is DONE with the rowdy teenagers and wants back with the flock... But I fear there is only one pullet in the batch and don't want to leave that one to be integrated on it's own in a couple of weeks.
So -...
I currently have a pair of Jungle Fowl, Ameracuana, and Cochin mix chickens in need of a new home. They are super handle-able and people friendly. We hand raised them after finding a rat snake eating the eggs in the nest as they were hatching, but it's time for them to go to someone else's flock...
I got some Blue Cochin Chicks, I have two, maybe three I suspect to be Cockerels, I have someone who is willing to take a cockerel off my hands, so I wanted to have some experts help me confirm the sex of these before I send him off...
We ended up with one rooster too many! He’s 20+ weeks old and in great condition. I’d happily deliver him to anyone within an hour of Hillsborough NC. A really beautiful bird and well behaved. He doesn’t love being handled but he’s socialized well with our human family. Mostly now he’s all...
Starting this thread to document my Cochins progress as they mature. Purchased them from an American Poultry Association Judge / Master Exhibitor. I currently have Buff, Blue & Black Cochins.
Hi!
Since I'm new to chickens, I figure it would be fun to chronicle my journey. :) I mentioned this in my introduction post, but I have been planning on getting chicks for over a year now. Over the last year, I've read up on all kinds of things, hopefully better preparing myself for this...
Hi everyone! We have had chickens for over a year now and I just wanted to share our little rooster we hatched with anyone who would like to see what a hybrid blue cochin/ameraucana looks like. Enjoy!

1 year ago today we received 22 chicks from Murray McMurray Hatchery. All were alive on arrival and still are today. When I was researching before ordering chicks, all I could find were horror stories. This post is for those folks who are searching before they order so that they know not all...
I was wondering if anyone has ever had any issues with their pullets fighting? I have raised chicks 3 times in the past and have never had one ever be this aggressive with everyone else. She will fight with everyone and push them around. She is currently housed with a Black Cochin and 3 Polish...
I thought these 5 week old chicks were cochin bantams, but then I read a thread that said all cochins have yellow legs. These two both have dark legs, and one looks like it may be a frizzle. Both are supposed to be pullets. Thank you in advance for any input.
