I still have a 6 inch scar from my little "Oddball" We raised the little fellow from hatchday, I hated the thought of killing him. I do know that he only progressed from bad to worse, me being kind and giving him treats, using full battle gear sword and shield in egg collecting and the husband...

Hmm...I thought Cochins were alot fluffier than these 2 are, I have 3 Bantam cochins and they have very feathery backsides...these are very tall when they walk around and kind of skinny frames like a leghorn.
I had thought at first maybe they were Orpington or Brahma when they were little...but now they don't resemble any pictures of any chickens that I can find..
