    Cochin Thread!!!

    Here are some pics of our bantam cochin hens, roosters, and a buff hen (she hangs out with them) If this post is in the wrong place or in the middle of someone's conversation, I apologize, I'm still learning :) This is Cotton, she loves having her picture taken.

    Cochin Thread!!!

    We have some cochin bantam roosters and they are very loud! I agree with another post though, the more roosters there are, the louder they will be. I think they like to challenge each other. At one time, we only had one cochin bantam rooster. He would crow in the morning and then be quiet...

    Rooster Behavior- Can you teach a rooster not to bite/peck?

    Sourland, Thank you for your advice. I tried your method out on the rooster yesterday and it worked! He looked at me like I was crazy! But he didn't peck me again. I felt bad forcing him to the ground, but I realize it's for his benefit. If he's going to stay, he has to behave!

    Cochin Thread!!!

    What beautiful chickens! These definitely look like girls, but it's always hard to be sure. We got a batch of cochin bantam chicks in April and I wanted to know so bad whether they were girls or guys. Some of them that we thought were boys turned out to be girls and vice versa. One key...

    Rooster Behavior- Can you teach a rooster not to bite/peck?

    Hi everybody, I have some 4 month old bantam cochins, males and females. They are all very friendly and docile. One of my favorite roosters has been pecking me though. I know this is fairly normal behavior for a rooster, but I want to break him of it. The first time I reach down to pet him...

    Cochin Thread!!!

    I just wanted to say that I think Cochin bantams are the best little chickens! We have 2 that we bought last year, that was our introduction to them. It's been love ever since! They are easy to keep, very friendly and don't take up a lot of space. The hens are so sweet and docile, they love to...

    Hen hatched duck eggs

    Hi, We have a hen that has hatched 3 duck eggs. I want to give these little guys the best, and I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions. Is it okay to leave them with the hen? Is there any type of shelter, feed, etc. that they need special? Here's our coop set up: 4 hens, 1 rooster in...

    Why are my hens fighting?

    Thank you guys so much. I've been worrying about my little Cochin girl all day. Now I have some good ideas as to what I need to do to make them all happy again. Thanks!

    Why are my hens fighting?

    Thanks HeChicken for responding. The girls having starting laying eggs recently, but, the Bantam cochin hasn't started laying yet. Maybe that's it. We do have limited space for laying, maybe I need to make some more nests (we only made two). They have plenty of room in their cage; it's...

    Why are my hens fighting?

    We have a normally very happy chicken coop. We bought chicks this past April and raised them together. We have six hens: 2 Rhode Island Reds, 1 Dominiquer (?), 2 Golden Buffs, and 1 Cochin Bantam. We also have a Cochin Bantam rooster. At first, the Cochin Bantam hen was the dominant hen...
