I thought it would be fitting if we take another look at Pam's wins at the 2012 Cochins International Western National, which was held in Sedalia, MO this past April:

Thank you! It's my first year with cochin bantams, I ADORE the shuffle run! They are the first ones to run out of the coop and run up to me to say hello in the morning. They are 3.5 months old now, they seem to be feathering in okay. And the FEET! I think I'm addicted and want 30 more... :)

Give it time, wont take you long to get that many. Lol. For me, among other things, I love how they look pigeon toed when they stand still. These birds look amazing at 3.5 months old, honestly.

I have a question. At four weeks our Cochins still freak out anytime we come near the brooder. We have to chase them, it's crazy. Will they calm down?
The Coop and Run are never done.

They should. I have noticed that my birds stay pretty wild, until about 5 weeks. They have the instinct of fight or flight, and they are scared of you right now, so they try and run away. They will learn quickly you mean no harm, just try and handle them as much as possible to help.

That's good to hear. I thought I was doomed to forever brood my chicks in the house. Our first five were inside till 5 weeks, and got used to us always being around, and now in the run I just yell "chick chick chick" and they all come running. I disliked having them inside so much that these new babies are all the way out in the garage. Even the little Silkie babies are a little nuts, and I thought the Wyandottes were bad.
