Boots:
I got Boots at an Atwoods' feed store. She was the only Cochin that wasn't afraid of me. I loved her a lot, and held her all the time. The result is a wonderful young hen whom loves to cuddle.

Boots is gentle and tame. Her favorite treat is cherry tomatoes. She will leap up onto my lap or shoulder for these, and I am not kidding!
Boots once laid her egg in my shoes, which I had left near the chicken coop when I put on my rubber boots to go into the coop in. When I put my shoe in, well, you know what happened next. It wasn't funny at first, but later it was funny. Boots is now a year and a half old, and still very much my favorite.
Splash:
Splash is a Cochin we got from a breeder. He was the one with most attitude. Ever since day one, he would run right up to you, tilt his head up, and give you a look that said "feed me!"
He is a quite a character. I was once visiting the neighbors, some 2 acres away from our house, when I heard a loud "Bwaaaaaa!" This was Splash's signature sound, and it caused me and my neighbor to laugh pretty hard for some few minutes. Splash is now 1 year and 23 days old, and still a very funny guy!
Thanks for reading their story!
