and thanks for stopping in. I have never had any bantams so I can't be of any help, maybe tnchickenut will reply I think she may know. You may also want to search on here and see if there is a bantam Cochin thread or review of them. Good luck and keep us posted.

I have never had any game but have been told they make excellent broody hens. We have had RIR and BSL in the past. They were excellent layers of big brown eggs. The RIR we had did not do well with a mixed flock: they were mean to the other hens.

The only 1 outa all 6 together that pecks is a game hen the rest are fine. I also have 3 OEGB nd 2 japenese bantams.

Just stopping in to say Hi. I used to lurk and occasionally post in that other thread. I pretty much stick to ducks and with the weather we have had lately, I'm glad I do
