Large Fowl Cochin Thread

[Rebecky54]

Does anyone know a source for GOOD LF cochins?

Thanks,

Becky

If I were looking I would contact Bo Garret in Oklahoma....he works really hard on his but not sure if he sells.
He is on here.

Depends on if you have a color preference or you just want the best. It also matters if you want to drive for them or prefer to ship. In your area, Bo is probably the closest to you that I know of. Tom Roebuck in VA, and 15 other good sources throughout the country. Go to the Cochins International website and look at the national show results over the past 3-4 years. That will give you a great idea of where to go. They even have variety champions, if you want something other than Buff, Black or White, which are probably the most common. I have some pretty decent Partridge if I can interest you in that color, which is extremely rare

(Sorry for the shameless plug...)

I have a SQ blue rooster and pullets from Welp hatchery. I found a trio to buy, but a "chicken friend" that lives near me said the male was poor quality, the lacing quality similar to my hens so probably not worth the expensive of the birds and shipping. Let me know what you think of these birds?

I took pictures of my birds to compare to these birds, but I can't find my camera now! I have blue birds, so would like to stick with blue for now. I have two breeds -- Buff Chantecler and Blue Cochins -- and I do best if I focus.

Well, I already have blue, but my pullets are hatchery stock, the rooster is SQ. Blue partridge, would be pretty.

Do you sell chicks and/or eggs?

Yep, the blues are verrry nice, personally I like how they've got the bit of lacing to them--if yours look like that, though, perhaps not. The black rooster is pretty so-so... too long and thin (I really don't like that tail), not deep enough, poor feety feathering, not to mention his feet look black, which is a major defect, if not DQ. The rooster is half of your flock if you're breeding. I would go for something better.

Here is my big black Jambalaya, 10 months old and still filling in:

Thankfully a LF cochin only thread at last!!!

: As the 21 cochins here are all LF this is now home!

I realize that it is hatchery stock, but I think my mystery chick is a buff cochin. Anything special I should know about this breed? I am assuming that it is male, and destined for the table, but just in case I lucked out with a female, want to make sure I know how to take care of her. Rest of babies are Amerucana, 2 brahmas, 2 austerlops, and 6 wyanadottes.

I have LF golden laced (no hatchery stock).
