I have several mottled cochin bantam cockerels to sell. They are 5-6 months old. I have bred mottleds for 20+ years and am a Master Breeder in Cochins International. Price is $40 and up. I may have some pullets later in the winter. Will deliver to Central IN show or to Columbus OH. Email or PM me. Thanks! MATT

thumbs up

This sounds like an excellent opportunity. I am a converted believer in buying the best quality cochins possible. And the price is reasonable. I have spent a lot of money on second hand cochins and a lot on feed and all I have to show for it is second hand cochins and discouragement.. Where as I would have been much better off investing in good quality birds to begin with.

Actually the price is more than reasonable for what you would be getting, Matt is an exceptional breeder and as he says, he is a Master Breeder which says plenty.

It came to me that every time I lose a dog, they take a piece of my heart with them, and every new dog who comes into my life, gifts me with a piece of theirs. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are."  - Cheryl Zuccaro

She has been sitting on her eggs for two weeks now, so if the chicks hatch they will be due next weekend. Our electricity isnt stable enough for me to have an incubator or broody box with a light, so i am letting the broody do it all I moved her down from the egg box before i put fertilised eggs under her, to underneath another coop i built, will post pics later. 
I built a run attached to this coop for a couple of baby self blues a while ago. 
I am planning on moving the self blues out, and locking the new momma and babies into the new run and coop. Apart from the obvious considerations (Water and food safety for the new chicks) is there anything else i need to consider for my first time mom and her chicks? I would assume that if I let her raise them that she would do a better job then me. 
 
It is the middle of summer here. What about pasty butt or bullying? Is it best to section her and her chicks off for a few weeks?
 
I know that chickens coped fine without humans interfering, but I would hate to disappoint her by leaving something out, and want to give her the best chance possible of raising the chicks. These are my first chickens, and the mom's first chicks, and i want to get it right.

Actually you could probably do a better job raising them, hens can't be beat for incubating, but humans usually do much better raising them. If you do leave them with her, I'd keep her locked away from the flock, except for the rooster - they are usually very good with babies. First time mamas don't always know how to protect their young.

You are so correct. A lesson learned that each of us has to learn on our own.

Bantam Cochins in Black, Birchen, Columbian and Buff Columbian. Now also have Sliver Penciled and Partridge. Working on a Silver Laced Project. Gold Laced project, and now a few White and White Frizzle.

The bad part, unfortunately something again we have all done, is to repeat the process several times until we settle in on our favorite Breed AND Variety.  I started out spending a lot of money every couple of years on my new "Breed du Jour".  Then, when I finally settled in with Bantam Cochins, I went thru a couple of different "Varieties du Jour" until I settled in on Golden Laced.

 

Just some of what I've had over the past 10 years (all Bantams)

Assorted Silkies - Bearded and Non-Bearded

Salmon Faverolles

Buff Ameraucanas

Silver Laced Polish

Sultans

Frizzle Cochins

Columbian Cochins

Mille Fleur Cochins

What made you decide to go with golden laced after raising the other types of cochins?

I know that it is not an easy road trying to have any variety other than the solid colors. It really is worth it and I will need you to remind me of that from time to time. Do you have any pictures left from when you had Columbians? I hope you continue to work on the tough ones.

Well I messaged Matt and told him I was interested in his mottled pair, then that I was going to wait, and then I messaged him back again and told him I changed my mind and did want them. He must think I am some crazy person by now... barnie.gif
