I have been offered a trio of white Cochins. They are from an amazing bloodline. However their age concerns me. They have 2019 rings on them. That means they were hatched in 2019. It’s been a few years since that time and just wanted to know if the hens will lay well. I’ll be attaching some...
I have a few “barnyard mix” chickens and I’m wondering about my girl Ms. Frizzle and thought I’d ask to gain a better understanding of the frizzle gene.
Her mother was a blue Cochin and there are several possible fathers. The mom was a normal smooth feathered Cochin. If I understand the...
I have two minis, a hen and a rooster. I think the rooster is a Partridge, but I’m not sure.
The hen is just said to be a Japanese breed. No idea what that could mean. Her mother was black, and her dad was red.
what types of Cochins are these?
my flock is mostly bantam ICochin and Cochin mixes, and I live in the Pacific Northwest, where it rains most of the year. last year most of my birds feet feather broke off or I had to cut them back because of the rain. their run gets pretty muddy, I put down sand usually which helps but isnt a...
Update Nov. 11 -- Not POL, at least 2 are now Laying.
From Ideal Hatchery's May 19th hatch so 18-weeks at the time I post this.
1 French Cuckoo Marans -- Fricasee
2 Dominiques -- Classic and Everroast
2 Large-Fowl Silver-Laced Cochins -- Nugget and Kebob
All healthy and without any issues...
I can not decide who who is cuter, bantam cochin or d'uccle. What is your opinion?
This is only about their cuteness, not their personality or anything else.
Hi all,
We just bought 3 young Cochin hens, just laying age and we are wondering about the quality of one in particular because my daughter would like to show her. Please let me know what you think. Thank you 😊
So I posted awhile back about these pullets (hopefully!!) and I’m wondering if they are filled out enough to see any telltale signs of possible breeds? They are now 10 weeks old. I have determined that the Mother was a Blue Cochin (LF) and we are guessing the fathers were either a Black Frizzle...
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...
my new cochin hen has this lump on her foot, it doesn't seem to hurt but I wanna treat it. Anyone know what this is and how to cure it? I put some ballistol on it for now
Thank you! :)
I know there are some Cochin people on here…s/he has looked just like this since about 4 weeks old. No growth, no change in color…and all the other boy Cochins have very obvious combs and wattles. So when I compare to the other chicks, I feel like she is a she…but I figured I’d get second...
I have a rooster about 18 weeks old started limping. He’s just not doing any better. I don’t see signs of Bumblefoot or any wound or anything broken. He’s a Cochin, so it’s really hard to see anything. He still looks beautiful, has a healthy look and appetite for food and mating, but his leg...
I have a very lethargic hen
she’s normally very active perky and eats like a pig but she’s slow seems tentative to walk. Not interested in food.
face is nice and red. They’ve been wormed three weeks ago but I’m now doing again just to make sure that’s now the problem.
she has a slightly...

1 mottled Cochin bantam
1 white Cochin bantam frizzle (proven breeder)
1 calico Cochin/silkie cross bantam
1 blue splash Cochin/silkie cross bantam
Please private message me...
(Edit: I did find 1 other thread about brooding outside) I can't seem to find many articles on this topic in the forum anywhere so I thought I would share my experience! This may be a no brainer for some but with everything and everyone everywhere talking about raising in brooder boxes this was...
Updated photos of our chicks! After a few questions on breeds, I think we nailed it…maybe. Now we are (not so patiently) waiting to find out genders.
Speckled Sussex
BW Crested Polish
Black Australorp
Barred Cochin
Appenzeller Spitzhauben
White Ameraucana (because the legs are gray)
I didn't want to post this is the emergencies/disease/illness thread bit if it belongs there please feel free to move it! This 5 day old bantam cochin is getting wing feathers and they're growing in kinda funny, they stick out away from the body instead of laying flat. Any opinions? I've raised...
My new chick's came today!! 4 assorted silkies and 4 assorted cochin bantams. This little guy/girl is quite a bit lighter than the other patridge I've identified. Do they vary that much in shade?
