    Large Fowl Cochin Thread

    I would encourage you to check out the Washington Feather Fanciers Poultry club's facebook page or the Cochins International facebook page. BTW - I am not affiliated with either group, but I have gotten great information from people who participate there :) Good luck!

    Large Fowl Cochin Thread

    Hi everyone! I love seeing all the photos of your beautiful birds. Thanks for sharing! I hope someone can help me with a "prepping for show" question or two. I am new to showing (have only shown one other time) and this is the first time I will be taking LF cochins. I have 5 LF cochins that...

    Cochin Bantams and Frizzle Cochin Bantams!!

    Hi all! I would like to find someone who has a nice BQ or SQ barred banty cochin hen for sale. Or a few chicks or hatching eggs from a good quality flock. I have a roo that is a "sport" (he is buff with some faint white barring) and I would like to try to breed a few buff barred from him...

    Large Fowl Cochin Thread

    Dave, Thanks once again for the supremely helpful information. I think I understand, but let me just clarify. If a cochin breeder talks about "bunny tails" they are referring to a tail that is narrow at the base, but breeders of non-cochins (Wyandottes for example), use the term to refer to...

    Large Fowl Cochin Thread

    I am getting ready to put together a breeding pen and I need to pick the best birds out of my flock. I have spent hours looking at photos of show quality and show winning birds, but they are all from the side. I think I have finally got a good sense of the proportions I should be looking for...

    White crested banty Polish roos - no shipping

    I have three times as many roos as hens and need to thin the flock! This is far less than these birds are worth, but I have simply run out of space. Therefore, I have some lovely breeder quality and possibly show quality roosters who need new homes so I can focus on my goal of breeding blue...

    Large Fowl Cochin Thread

    Dave, thanks for the advice. That is what I thought I should do with my breeding pens. And thank you for the info on the splashes. To clarify, you are talking about the base body color of the bird needing to be recognizably blue, correct? It was my understanding that a splash should have...

    Large Fowl Cochin Thread

    Dave, So given my question of how best to pair him, given that he has some lacing (although not very dark) and some splashes, and is light in color, should I pair him with my lightest nice blue hen to try for light (almost white) blues with splashes? Or would a good, dark blue hen with heavy...

    Large Fowl Cochin Thread

    Such lovely birds in this thread. And such amazing colors! I do have a question regarding color that I hope someone here can answer for me. I have black and blue large fowl cochins. I have two exceedingly nice black birds - a hen and roo - that I got from Monica Harmon, but my other birds...

    Buff Barred Cochin Thread

    Thanks for the advice. I was pretty sure that the barred roo was his father. He has the correct number of toes for a cochin, and yellow skin, but his feathers are a bit "fluffier" than my other cochins. He was a "bonus egg" that my broody cochin laid after I set her on a clutch of polish eggs...

    Buff Barred Cochin Thread

    Wow! What lovely birds you all have! Someone from one of the other banty cochin threads suggested I post here about a "sport" that cropped up in my buff banty flock. I have this lovely rooster: He was hatched by my buff hens from eggs that they laid. At the time I had a solid buff banty...

    Cochin Bantams and Frizzle Cochin Bantams!!

    He has no sisters - he was a "bonus" egg my broody cochin laid after I had put her on a nest of Polish eggs I wanted her to hatch :) I wish I knew which hen was his mom, but since I wasn't trying to hatch cochins, I did not take any notes. If I breed him back to the buff hens, won't that...
