Hey guys! So I ordered 10 standard brown egg layers from tractor supply (which uses Hoover's Hatchery). They listed breeds that could be in the mix, and there were no cochins or brahmas listed, so I thought I was safe from feather footers, but alas, 8 of my 10 have very fluffy feet.
Could use...
Hi! I have a couple older hens who need rehoming (not urgently): a white cochin and a buff brahma. the cochin is a sweetheart (i have picked her up and pet her all her life) while the brahma can be a bit of a bully. The cochin does not reliably lay eggs anymore but the brahma does lay eggs...
Hello everyone!
I have a little self blue cochin chick that I bought from one of my personal favorite hatcheries, Ideal Poultry. Unfortunately, this year was not a great year considering their genetics, as in the same batch I had a chick with pus coming from its eyes. Even with assisted feeding...
Hi all!
My Cochin pullet appeared with this hurt beak when we came back from a trip. What happened? Is there anythIng I can do to help her? She is still eating and drinking to my knowledge, I just want her to be okay.
Good morning everyone,
I bought two young bantam cochins at the Ohio National a few weeks ago. I brought them home, and put them in quarantine. After a day, both had a sneeze and very light gurgling when breathing. I immediately treated them with All-in-One powder, which treats multiple...
I have a barred Cochin roo and a buff silkie hen. What will the outcome of their chicks be? They just happen to be each other favorites and they get along extremely well.

Hello!
I have a very stubborn broody hen. She went broody a little over a week ago and is not responding to any breaking techniques. I have her in a cage in the AC with no bedding; she just sits on the bottom, brooding. I put ice under her, she just melted it. A few days ago she started...
Hello,
Thank you in advance to anyone who can provide any insight as to the Gender of my 3 baby chicks. I started keeping chickens last year, but my original batch of chicks turn out to have a lot of boys, so this spring I was looking to add more ladies to my flock.
These three chicks are 8...
Hi all! I had my first broody hen and while she had 5 eggs, only one made it to hatching. I learned a lot through the experience. The broody hen was my bantam Cochin and the one egg that hatched was actually her egg! My roo is a Polish. I’m curious what you all think of this chick as I haven’t...
Hello,
I live in Northern Utah near Ogden but was raised in Salem, Utah. My family lives out in the Lake Shore and Benjamin areas of Utah on farms but they are not the kind to help answer questions as they feel you need to learn from your mistakes.
I am new to raising chickens and geese. My...
