cochin bantams

A new addition to my homestead is this bantam cochin breeding pair. I think they are gorgeous 😍 BUT I am not sure what color they are considered. Please help me identify!

Hi, I was wanting some advice- this is our black cochin bantam. She's 1 year old and in great health. She has not been limping or acting out of sorts at all. I make it a practice to check our flocks' feet every few weeks as they are free range and I want to head off any problems. Everything is...

Well my sister and I incubated 23 eggs during the cold snap that hit Texas around Christmas and we had 18 chicks hatch out it. My go to chicken breeder had her incubator open as she wasn’t hatching anything at the moment and hatched them out for us. They’re Cochin bantams chicks. The fathers are...

Hello everyone. I've been a fan of this site for a long time, but just now decided to join to see everything that it has to offer. My family and I are what I call eclectic chicken enthusiasts. We love all our feather babies as pets, adore the unusual and rare ones the most, and can sit and...

My neighbor's 3 new Cochins went missing without evidence of a predator attack, and we think someone stole them. She had just adopted them recently from Nevin's Farm in MA; we live in Southern NH. They were part of a group that was abandoned in a cat carrier. The two hens are Rose and...

I have seen negative posts about silver laced Wyandotte’s. My slw are great with my flock which includes silkies, barred rocks, sapphire gem, Cochin,and bantams. I have one slw that’s the leader of the flock. She is first to exit the enclosure in the morning and last to go in at night. She lets...

Hello! My fiancé and I recently decided to get some chickens for the first time. We’re all set with supplies, a coop, etc. We know what breeds we like and city ordinance says we can’t have roosters. The only ones I’ve found that meet our needs are from Craigslist...

I purchased 5 assorted bantam chicks at TSC today. One is clearly a porcelain D’Uccle. The other four (2 buff & 2 red) are (I assumed) Cochins. However, while taking care of some pasty butt on some of them, I noticed one of the red chicks has 5 toes! ALL four of these chicks have feathered...

I live in Spartanburg, SC and I have a bantam blue cochin rooster who will not stop flogging my children and myself every time I turn around. I'm hoping someone has more patience, and can help him get better. I don't have the heart to cull him. I can't let my kids be afraid to come outside and I...

Hi all, I went to a local auction hosted by a poultry club today and came home with a pair of white bantam Cochins. The hen is great - super cute, healthy, etc. The rooster, I’m not sure what to think. His feet are all strange and what look like to be deformed. Please take a look at the...
