I need some help. I got some cochin bantams from a breeder that does AI only. My question is...will the roo breed the hens naturally? He has never been in the same pen with hens to breed. Will his instincts kick in?
Anyone had any similar situations?
hi i just wanted to make a thread on breeding pekin bantams for show or to the standard or for colour so feel free to post your pekin project on here :)
Hello! I'm having trouble determining the breed of one of my eight week old chicks. :,) Based on hours of research, I believe she's a female silver penciled cochin, maybe mixed at the very least, but I'm honestly not 100% on that. Any input? If needed, I can get better pictures of her, I just...
I have a hen that keeps tipping over. Only to one side. She can stand and walk some but if she tips over its hard for her to get upright again. It’s sort of like she can’t get her foot up under her.
I right away thought the worst and started checking for symptoms of merek’s. She does not have...
Hello! We recently started raising chicks. The first batch is a happy, healthy group of four, still super friendly and cuddly at 12 weeks old. The second batch is a group of nine and although they seem to be thriving so far, I have a few concerns.
Firstly, the Spitzhauben chick seems to be...

Greetings fellow chicken people!
I started raising chickens last spring, but I’m used to chickens from my in-laws farm. I keep mine most as pets and for eggs, so far we are getting very few eggs. I have 13 hens and 1 rooster. My youngest chicks were born in late September. They are all bantams...
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...

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...
