    Large Fowl Cochin Thread

    I am working on the new design for my Cochin Castle as I like to call it. I wanted to give them an enclosed run to give them more room to move around. The whole area is going to sit on a concrete slab. My question for their run is: Do I not put anything down, just let them walk around on...

    chicks and children

    I see nothing wrong with letting kids do the egg collecting. Shells on fresh eggs are very hard so it will be harder for them to break. As far as the breeds I have, nothing produces eggs like the Black Australorps! They seriously pop out some eggs. However, I have a very soft spot for...

    Cochin breeding, genetics, and showing

    I feel stupid for asking this, I remembered someone asked this question but now I can’t find it….At what age do most people start showing their LF Cochins? I just bought a trio of 5month on LF Blue Cochins and was just trying to get my ducks in a row. I’m new to Cochins and so far I have been...

    chicks and children

    A lot will depend on the ages of your children. If they are old enough not to try and ingest droppings and they know to wash their hands after playing with the chickens you should be fine. If not I would make a special chicken area and then there is nothing to worry about. Out of the breeds...

    mail versus feed store chicks

    I’ve heard excellent things about My Pet Chicken. I’ve ordered from eFowl and had a good experience. I ordered 25 female chicks, they sent 26 and all lived and were sexed correctly. I can’t complain. My first set of chicks I got from a local breeder. The only bad thing about that is they...

    Congrats to all of you on your new chicks. Nothing makes you smile like watching them play and grow. I’m still excited every time I get new chicks. Then again I’m excited when I get 5 month old birds too.

    I killed her... I feel awful

    I am so sorry to hear that. I’ve had a couple moments where I sat there and said “I just killed her”. It will get easier with time. The best thing I’ve found to do is just try and learn from my oops.

    Large Fowl Cochin Thread

    Hello All, I am finally venturing into the world of breeding LF Blue Cochins. I’m sooo excited. I was wondering if you guys and gals could give me some pointers. I am new to the breeding world but I am the type of person that believes you can never stop improving and I am foolish enough to say...

    Looking for LF Cochins

    Is anyone else having a hard time finding standard Cochins? Also, is there a reason for this? Are there just not that many Cochin breeders?

    First predator attack, it is a wee bit graphic

    Thanks so much for the input. I fixed the roof and haven’t had another attack yet. I might help that I also set my tent up outside and am sleeping down by the coops. That sure would be one surprised possum when it saw me coming out of my tent.

    First predator attack, it is a wee bit graphic

    Here’s the story: I had my 12wk old chicks in a chain length dog kennel, around the outside of the pen I had my standard chicken wire fence, the top was completely covered except for a roughly 3inch space that was caused by the slope of the roof. That was the only point of entry available, no...

    Which hatchery has the best Bantam Cochins?

    I seem to not be they only one who can’t find Cochins. So two questions: 1. What is a good hatchery to find a pretty colored Cochin? I don’t need show quality here, this is a pet, and I do mean pet, I'll be happy if it lays an egg a week. 2. What would be a good breeder to find let’s say a...
