Yay for LF Cochins! Hello everyone. I got Cochin hens to hatch my other breed, but then I decided I liked the Cochins better! I have a mix of colors and just recently got a mottled cock to go with my girls but then someone went and posted a picture of a buff barred Cochin on face book and now I...
Kurt, I was hoping to hatch some Cochins also so I gave her 4 of each. However, The other Cochins were in with her at first and stealing eggs from her. At one point several ended up away from mom on a cold day, one Australorp, so I removed them. In the end she had 3 Australorp eggs and all...

I found a LF breeder in NY and I now have a LF mottled cock in with my hens. I have the one mottled hen, one splash, one barred, and 2 blue hens. I can hardly wait for them to go broody.
I'll post a pic of my new man soon. So far all his pics are on my phone.
Oh, and the breeder...
Most of the Cochins I see look Bantam. This girl was solid black until her first full molt. I would love to find a mottled standard (LF) rooster to put with my girls.
And it was a tough choice! But I must say I am more and more impressed with Denali every day. Such a wonderful personality to go with such good looks! I didn't think I would ever again love a rooster as much as I loved Bazinga but it looks very possible now.
Yes, he's great to work with. I plan on getting some hatching eggs from him this spring. I would ultimately like to have a blue/black/splash flock going.
