Hi! I'm new here and have had chickens my whole life. My husband and I got our own flock Feb. 2016 and I love having my own to care for. I'm looking into starting to show and breed cochins. Any info and tips would be appreciated! I started with just production breeds, then went for the colored...
Now they have starting to feather out ( 5 weeks old on Tuesday) , it might be a better time to ask who's the Daddy , and see if I can be narrowed down a bit more .
Both chicks have the same mum but different dad
Also is the red chick actually a frizzle ? I've seen other frizzled chicks and he...
Help me figure out what the standard names of these Cochins would be? Sorry for the red tint from their heat lamps. Yes, I use hear lamps. I’m a long-time reptile keeper. I stand by the lamp. No lectures, please!
I got my first trio- Bielefelder, Cochin, and Olive Egger about four months ago. I fell in love, so of course it made sense to buy 29 cochin hatchlings and start incubating leghorns and golden comets. Soon I had fifty! I’ve been mostly giving them away or selling them for practically nothing...
Looking for a great lap chicken breed that will do well being manhandled by an almost 6 year old and an 8mo (older when we finally get them in spring). Want them to be super snuggly and willing to visit us inside sometimes (especially in bad weather), and love being spoiled rotten. We already...
Carl is a 6 mo bantam cochin cockerel, and yesterday was his first introduction to the 8 girls. They are 2 hens, a BR and an SS (1 1/2 yrs) , and 6 pullets,( 7 mo, ) four of the pullets are leghorns, one a Sebright, and one a D'Uccle. All but the D'Uccle have started laying, but the Sebright...

Hi guys!
I'm fairly new to this forum and to chickens. I've owned them before when I was living at home, but I've just moved out and we've gotten two chickens for the first time! One of my hens is a large Cochin named Tatiana (I don't think she's a Bantam). I've done some research leading up to...
I need to downsize my flock, so I'm selling off some extra birds.
I'm located in East Tennessee, a few miles from Madisonville.
Here's what I have:
Trio of bantam hens - Two Mille Fleur d'Uccles, and a d'Uccle X OEGH hen. These sweet birds would make great pets. $25 for ALL
Trio of Cream...
Finally got chickens again! Had to settle in some place before we could build a great coop. Right now 5 girls are stealing my heart: Kiri, a speckled Sussex; Charlotte, a light Brahman; Tockwotten, a jersey Giant; Regina, a partridge Cochin and Penelope, a blue Andalusian. We got these girls at...
