Our Cochin is comical. She makes me laugh every time she runs (she doesn't fly). When she runs, it is more like a waddle, her leg feathers flying in the wind. When she bends over and it's windy, all her bits are showing, like a southern lady caught in a freak storm. Mine hasn't laid yet, but she's been practicing in the nest box so I know she will be a good mama. I highly recommend Cochin's for the entertainment aspect and sweet character they add to any flock. Very gentle birds and she has never shown any aggression to flockmates.
