Hey folks! I am back here looking for lavender cochins. (preferably bantam, but would like LF too) I would take eggs or chicks. I am east Tenn. and willing to drive some to pick up if needed. Thanks!

Have you seen these? They can be turned to accommodate bigger chicks. They heat on both sides so chicks can move around them and still be warm. They don't really say how cold they can be to still heat tho.
Just a guess, but the one with green band (longer neck) looks either self blue D’uccle, or maybe porcelain. The shorter rounder chick looks splash Cochin.
I'm looking for some Lavender/Self Blue cochins. I would take LF or bantam. Any breeders out there wanting to sell some chicks(preferable) or eggs? Thanks.
Also, does anyone work on silkied bantam cochins? I have a blue silkied Roo that is built exactly like a cochin but he is silky feathered...
For LF Cochins, do you put them in a covered pen or can they free-range inside a fence of 5 feet? I want to allow them to roam inside my fence but didn’t know if they would try to fly over. I have always had bantams but I really want to try some LF birds and Cochins are my starting point. Thx...
I must have gotten very lucky...I bought 9 sebrights from TS and got 2 males and the rest females. At least its looking that way right now. I did get a bantom wyandotte that is deffinately male and 2 OEGB that are one of each.
