    Cochin Thread!!!

    Quote: Could those be considered "Self Blue" Cochins? Here yes, not in france. BTW yours are so so so much better than ours I actually do not know if they are self blues or lavender , but I assumed they were lavender. What makes them better? can you tell that I know nothing about "type"?

    Faverolles Thread

    I tried my hand at chicken portraits today I'm no artist but I love my Faverolles so much I wanted to immortalize them (and incase anyone asks: the wooden chickens are Ostheimer toys, except for the little Fav cockerel which was a special order from an Etsy shop)

    Self-Blue Cochin Bantams

    Quote: yes, they are both pullets. Cochins in general are pretty slow to develop. Large Fowl even more so. Where did you get these pullets? Just curious. They appear to have good color, although a bit leggy, and the one appears to be a little stiff in the hock feathers. Something to...

    Self-Blue Cochin Bantams

    Here are my girls (I think) at 3 months old - not the greatest of pics I know LOL They are my absolute favorites among my chickens, however they are soo small still, nowhere near the size of the adult bantams I've seen. Is it normal for this breed to take a long time to mature? They still...

    How old before chicken coop ?

    Mine have just gone in this week at 7 weeks old. 5 of them have joined the big girls and rooster without any upset at all. I have put 4 in a dog cage in the run because 2 of them are bantam Cochins and I want them to grow bigger before meeting the grown-ups. I left 2 "friends" with the...

    Mutt Thread

    I have quite a few Mutts Big Bertha - no idea what she is as I bought her from a market. I suspect there is Cochin in there though. Little Bertha 7 weeks old (daughter of above, black copper Maran father) In the foreground is what I think is a leghorn X. She used to lay pure white eggs...

    Post Pics of your Leghorns

    I've got a bantam brown Leghorn hen. She is sweet but flighty, and is difficult to photograph here she is again with another bird that I think is a bantam white Leghorn X (I call her the henaroo because she was an egg-laying hen, but now thinks and acts like a roo!) this is one of the...

    What are YOUR favorite chicken hybrids!?

    I've got a sweet faverolle bantam rooster and often wonder what the offspring would be like if I put him to a bantam cochin hen? My cochins are still chicks though so I don't know if I'll try that or not yet, but I think they would be very cute. I do have a couple of leghorn X maran chicks at...
