So I have my second flock of docile Cochins. My last flock was 9 hens with 1 roo. I raised them together from hatchery chicks. I don’t recall my roo ever going through a problem phase as a youngster. In fact I don’t even remember when he started mating the girls. It was a pretty uneventful...

….according to my 15 week old Cochins. Now my last Cochin flocked LOVED these foods so I just don’t get it. They are eating their organic crumbles and they’ll eat black soldier fly larvae , mealworms, scratch …but whenever I try a human food, they peck it once and then ignore it. I have so...

I have 9 gorgeous (!!) 14 week old splash Cochins. 4 roos - 5 hens . I’m rehoming 3 of the roos this week but unsure on whether to keep the fourth and see how it goes. 1 roo- 5 hens. I have had people tell me ( at the hatchery) that they have had that ratio with no problem. My last flock...

Hi, One of my Cochin hens that I've had for about 9 years now- since she was hatched- has a bald spot that won't seem to fill in on her chest. She has the little white starts, but nothing comes of them. This has been going on for about 8 months. We live in northern Minnesota and can get...

Hi- so I have a white Cochin ( I think she’s 6 or 8 can’t recall exactly when we got them as chicks) and she’s been broody for about 2 weeks now. This morning her crown was not red anymore- face looked very speckled and eyes were closed. We have had a few days in the 90s ( Minnesota) and this...

Hi all, I have just 5 Cochin hens left from our original flock of 12 years ago. These five girls are I think about 6 years old. One of my white hens is in molt and has lost most of the feathers on the top of each wing plus a section on her butt and neck. She is pecking her wings and breaking...

I found a back protector apron that works just perfectly for us. No slippage, no twisting...so that is not my question. My question is why do I see so few of them!? It seems like 90% of the chicken pics I see, the hens (even with roosters) are naked? How do they get by like this? I...

I posted a month or so about my poor Cochin rooster's legs. Feathers started coming out slowly.... in the late spring. More pink skin showed up over time. He seemed perfectly fine during all of this. Recently, it's just really continued to look like it's not healing at all. I have been...

Hi all, I saw an old post with another Rooster that had what appeared to be same issue as mine but there were no repies to her question. So I'm starting up again. My year old Cochin rooster has had pink areas on his legs, losing feathers for some time....months. I thought it was just...

Hi, This is our first year with chickens and all has been going great so far. Ive had the 10 hens and 1 rooster, Cochins, since they were a few days old. They are around 8 months now. Made it thru the winter here in MN fine.. The only thing I have been questioning is if our rooster is...
