Mille Fleur, Calico and Mottled Cochin cockerels for sale
Hi There,
I'm in Healdsburg, and have several bantam cochin dudes for sale. 9 weeks old, these guys are with my 5 month old Marans dude, who seems to love them. Too many, so some have to go! Hatched under two broody bantam cochins, some from my own eggs (Blue Mille Fleur Roo x MF hen and Calico hen, and some eggs that I bought (mottled & MF). All vaccinated for Mareks and healthy little guys. PM me if you want more information or are interested. $15

Here is Ricky, Dad to some of the above chicks.

I have noticed that as well. I had a Maran cockerel in with a Production red cockerel, as well as a big ol' Brahma cockerel. The Red and the Brahma had so many squabbles, but my Maran never had any issues.
Nice!They are so cute. Really like the coloring of Ricky.
If we weren't up to the eyeballs with Marans cockerels at the moment, I would be tempted. lol
Just my experience, but, I have also noticed that whomever you put Marans cockerels in with, they usually always seem to like them. Seen that again and again. We've recently put some older cockerels in with full grown RIR roosters and females, and there wasn't even a hiccup. Also, all the hens seem to take to them as well.
Good luck!!!
Nice!
They are very nice.Oh- thank you, Ron!
This is the cockerel I have my eye on so far. So far, he looks a lot like dad roo.
.
Have my fingers crossed that he can take over for dad this coming season. Dad will be in with the new pullets, with also his mom, as I would still like a few more cockerels similar in looks to this son. (Amazing how much variation there can be even in 100.)
Even though we are still in F1, am even getting excited about how the pullets are coming along, too.
Some of the pullets have become large, and have just begun to lay this last week. Many are getting well-coppered hackles. Thankfully, no golden or straw haloes issues to work through. And the new egg color (although still small pullets eggs) is as dark, or darker than their mother, so we didn't lose egg color in the first cross, which often happens during F1.
Ignore wire shadows and strange, strong yellow morning light, she is not washed out, mossy or yellow, lol.
The pullet's hackles only have a bit more to go (should also be on top of the head, above eyes as well), and a few gens of working on egg color, we should hopefully be happy campers-- assuming all goes as hoped for. lol We've found these guys can have many bumps in the road during the journey...

Those are fantastic looking Maran eggs! Did your birds lay them?
