I ordered some Red Cochin sexed bantams from Cackle a couple of years ago. I ended up with 2 hens and 2 roosters. One of the roosters was very aggressive. I tried him in with the LF and he got along with them but was so aggressive toward people he had to go. The remaining one is very nice.

We have several breeds but the only one that has gone broody is the bantam Cochin. Last year we tried letting her hatch a very few chicks but no success. She kept going broody though and had to be broke of it a few times. May let her try again this year. Learned some from last year's failure.

I get my chicks from Cackle. I believe they sell bantam eggs.

Thanks. That horse is a mini that just started her show career last year.

Here are a couple pics of our nice Cochin rooster Rusty. He is living with three LF hens and four 7 week old pullets and he is behaving wonderfully. Wish his brother would be so nice.

That is good advice. I will keep it in mind. I have her "broke" from her broodiness for now. I would rather not hatch chicks. If I want more I would prefer sexed bantams to avoid having to deal with unwanted tipsters.

Thanks for the reply. That is what I thought must have happened. I tried putting her by herself early in the bloody stage but she had such a it I put her back in the nesting box.

I have a bantam Cochin hen that went broody about 4 weeks ago. I ended up letting her have two eggs and gave her some "fake eggs" to keep her happy. She was in the coop with the rooster and three other bantams. When about 23 days had gone by I thought I would take away the eggs and try to...

I had wanted barred Cochin but they did not have them til later so I settled for the red ones as we show ponies and needed them ready to go outside before show season starts. Hope it goes well with you and your replacements.

I just wanted to let you know I got my chicks for Cackle Hatchery in Lebanon,MO today. Though it was very cold here, the chicks were is great shape. I ordered Bantam pullets, three Buff Brahma and three Red Cochin and they sent and extra Red Cochin. All are lively, doing well and eating and...

Cackle also has sexed bantam of some of their breeds. They are in Missouri.

Please keep us informed on how they do. I am expecting 6 bantam from Cackle next week. Your story makes me nervous.
