cochin

Hi all, I have a small mixed flock that were all purchased as chicks in February, and they all started laying around the end of July - the beginning of August. The 2 white Cochins are both already broody and have been for the last 3 weeks. First, it was just one, but soon after, the other...

I’m at a loss as to what is wrong with my chicken. I thought Mereks but a lot of people are saying it’s not. My chickie (Boots, hatched july 4, a silkie cochin mix) Was let out of the coop Tuesday morning and was just laying by herself, i noticed she could barely walk so i took her inside. for...

I have two 9 week old cochins and am new to the breed. I bought them as day old unsexed chicks. The white one I think is a cockerel but the buff one I am not sure on, any ideas? Thanks

I am new here and new to chickens. Exactly one week New. Lol. We have 4 in total. Black Jersey Giant- no clue of age Cochin also no clue of age but the leg feathers are coming in. 2 Golden Laced Wyandottes hatched 7/24 Questions: Any guesses as to the age of the Jersey out Cochin? Do any of...

My cochin bantam rooster Shadow was suffering from some avian chicken pox, so I went ahead and separated him out in a medium/ large dog kennel where he could get better but not spread it to everyone else. He was in there for like 5 or so days when I went out to go feed all the animals like I...

I’m new to the Cochin breed and have no idea what these colors are!

Hello my fellow Chicken Coopers! My name is Janette and I have never joined BYC until now but I’ve had many chickens! I recently started looking into MF/Calico Cochins because they’re so stunning and so rare in my area so I wanted to bring them here and have them available to my community next...

Hi, I’m hoping someone can help me figure this out!! I’m looking to adopt another hen from my local shelter. This bird was listed as a hen on the website and they said was returned to the shelter for being a rooster with no other explanation. I went to go take a look at her/him and still can’t...

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!

Five beautiful, healthy and friendly chickens looking for a new home. We are moving and sadly can't take our girls. We have 2 grey Orpingtons, 1 black Orpington, 1 light Brahma and 1 partridge Cochin. They were all born in April of last year and are the sweetest things! They will eat from your...

Some backstory. We ordered 5 unsexed cochins from a hatchery, along with some other birds. As of this post, they are 11 weeks old. We thought we were able to vent sex this brown one as a male, but we have doubts. We're not experienced with vent sexing, so don't fully trust our judgement with it...

Hello, Thank you in advance to anyone who can assist. I am new to chicken keeping. I ordered seven baby chicks from MPC. They are 6.5 weeks old currently. I ordered six girls and one boy. However, I have my suspicions that some of my bullets are actually roos. I have an assortment of breeds. 1...

I did it again. I swear I only needed dog food. It is their fault for having the baby chicks in the same aisle 🤣. But I am not mad, ok well, my husband is...lol. So these were at TSC as "cochins". Can someone tell me which kind and color they are going to turn into? I got 4, two that look black...

Hey Guys! Can I get some help identifying these chicks? They were in the assorted bantam bin at my feed store. I know I got a frizzle cochin bantam (#3) that I would like to know what color it may turn into. #1 looks like a d'uccle but not too sure.(feathered feet and pointy tail) And no...

Hi all, I'm a proud new chicken mom! I have recently figured out that my Frizzle Cochin Bantam is a boy :-( I cannot keep a roo where I am. I live in Riverside County Ca ...need to regime this cutie with someone who won't eat him or feed him to something else. If you're int and not too far I'll...

I bought three 6 week old chicks from a neighbor about 3 months ago and I cannot figure out what this guy(or girl) is. The lady said she bought them from a feed store and two are for sure Cochins, one is a bantam Brahma, and the other she couldn’t remember the breed. The older this one gets the...

The black one I know is a pullet, I'd love your guess on silkie, and what are the red and white Frizzle?? Both roos? They are ~ 7/8 weeks from Tsc bantam bin. I wanted to keep one :((((

6 weeks old. This one’s comb is already red compared to the others, and is a little bigger. I was thinking cockerel 🤔?

Trying to help a friend figure out gender. She said she got this Cochin from a breeder eight months ago who claimed the chicken was ten months during the time. Has not crowed or laid eggs yet. 🤔

I have a 7 1/2 qeek old bantam cochin and I'm just not sure about it! We have another one hatched the same day that is most definitely a cockrel (labeled B1). Here is a pic for reference. But this other one I just can't tell. It has a pretty significant comb, but it's not red like the other's...
