    Mille Cochin Info

    I just wanted to share some pictures I took recently of some of my young Mille Fleur Hens. I would really love some opinions on their color/pattern.

    kosova longcrowers?

    Someone had some longcrower eggs on ebay awhile back. I wanted so bad to get some but the bator was FULL FULL FULL at the time. Stinks. I was really looking forward to torturing the neighbors!

    Cochin Thread!!!

    Quote: Hum. Columbian huh. I believe the breeder my MF's came from used Buff Columbian as part of the foundation. So I guess this guy is some sort of throwback. I only own one young Columbian hen that I took as a trade. She doesn't have a lot of color on her though, just a little bit on the...

    Cochin Thread!!!

    I was wondering if anyone on here could tell me what color my little cochin chick is. I can't figure out if he wants to be mottled, some sort of black splash, or a columbian ( which I don't own any adults of ). He almost has to be out of one of my MF cochin pens but I have never hatched a chick...

    I took some more pictures today of my "strange" colored pullets to share with you guys. As always, I would love your input. I am super excited at the idea that they could be wheaten throwbacks from my MF cochins. This whole time I have been waiting for them to "color up" and now I am hoping they...

    Mille Cochin Info

    I sent you a message and asked but what kind of dog is it and how old is it?? I only ask because I recently adopted a young Blue Heeler and have spent the past several months working with him on the important lesson of "we don't chase, attack, or kill chickens in this family!!" It has been a...

    Mille Cochin Info

    I don't know either. It is strange though. I don't know where else those chicks could have come from. Hum. I only have the two and they are absolutely identical. I guess I will just have to keep an eye on them and see what they do. Any thoughts on what color I should breed them to if I want to...

    Mille Cochin Info

    Quote: Really? You think so?? That is really interesting. I started a topic not long ago asking if two of my birds were Wheaten and the responses were mixed, some thought they might be, others seemed pretty certain they are not. Who knows. One of the birds I asked about is a Rooster I have who...

    Mille Cochin Info

    I thought it would be fun to show off some of the MF Chicks that I have hatched out this year. They are getting a little older and the color is really starting to show in some of them. I have a batch of younger ones too that I really need to get some pictures of. A lot of them are high white or...

    Lemon/Tangerine Blue Cochin Chick

    This is a cochin chick that recently hatched. I have noticed that my chicks usually start with a hint of red which increases as they mature and molt. When they reach about three to five months, the hens will actually start to loose color. As adults, my hens only have a small hint of red left (...

    Is this a pair of Wheaten Bantam Cochins??

    I'm not sure why but I couldn't get the link to work. Clint, I took some pictures of that chick I was talking about and I will try and post them in the morning. The colors on this little guy are amazing already. Usually my chicks start off with a blue or black base with just a hint of red on...

    Blue-Lemon EE?

    I had a giant cochin that looked very very similar to that once. I sold him because he had a pea comb. The lady who got him adores him regardless. I have been working on my giant cochins to get something similar to your hen. I am getting closer with every hatch. Around here we call them...

    Is this a pair of Wheaten Bantam Cochins??

    Quote: I totally agree. Buff is a rather difficult color to get right. If they are poor quality, there will be uneveness and bleached out parts... like your hen. The roo is red. They may even be crosses but are not wheaten. Danny's bird has a slight variation in color creating a bit of a...
