I purchased these birds from someone and they said the stock came form a show breeder in North Carolina. I was told that they were a year. Old but the hen isn’t laying yet, I drove an hour to buy them at a decent price so I didn’t question it. But. When that is one and hasn’t laid yet...
Hello I keep a small assorted flock of Cochin bantams. I am very interested in adding some colombian Cochin bantams to my flock. I can’t seem to find any on eBay or locally. None at any hatcheries either. I’d love to get in contact with a breeder of possible. Thanks everyone!
This is my silver pencil pair Isabella and Ferdinand❤ Took me forever to locate a suitable pair to sells eggs from. This will be their first serious year so far she’s only laid 9 eggs haha.
Thanks you guys, still new to this site(I don’t do Facebook, Twitter or any social media) and this is such a nice positive place to get out of my head and talk chickens(no one in my family or circle of friends has chickenS let alone pets at all). I’ve always thought chickens friends are the best...
Oh goodness I wish. We bought this old farmhouse and we have a huge tobacco barn but it’s located about 10 feet from the trees and brush and we don’t farm tobacco lol. Beautiful barn but old and not fit for wintering small livestock. It’s all good though every year is a challenge for me to...
Oh my goodness we live out in the woods in Tn And I’ve literally got one of those shelter buildings that you back a camper into and it’s been covered with hardware cloth and these wild animals out here are determined to rain on my parade , honestly it’s like they think my couple acres is a life...
Those are beautiful, lots and lots of booty fluff! Those are for sure some well fed ladies. Thanks for uploading the photos I’ve never seen that coloring before
Thanks, I always expect to be heartbroken at least once ya know stuff is bound to happen. I feel like I’m either hover mothering my children or hover mothering my birds lol. It just sucks that working so hard to get them to about four months and something like an opossum, fox or hawk drops in...
Those are so cute! I absolutely adore white Cochins, I’ve just never had good luck with getting them as chicks to P.o.l 😕 do you guys ever feel like some color feather out slower than others or is it just me? Like lavender, I’ve gotten several sets of day old lavenders but I’ve never been able...
Those are some serious stunners!!! So beautiful! I’m so happy I found this site ! Now I don’t feel so alone in my crazy Cochin addiction lmao. This second boy is so fluffy, makes me wish some of my boys were thta fluffy haha.
Cool cool, I also have gotten a few of mine from ideal. They’re the only hatchery I’ve ordered from so far, everyone else seems to be a bit more pricy and doesn’t have that big of a selection. I’d love to see your pics when you get a chance. No rush though, just glad my typing into the abyss...
I’m so sorry you lost one. He is beautiful and very proud , I can tell . What other colors do you have? Or all they all birchen? Do you have any More pics? Where do you get your chicks from? Sorry it’s just so hard to find people who also have Cochins and I’m so tired of looking at stock photos...
He is absolutely lovely!!!!! I have a silver penciled boy and they seem a bit similar. How old is he if I may ask? Do you breed cochin bantams?
Thank You for replying🥰
I know this thread is a bit older but I just joined BYC and have an order for some birchen Cochin bantams and was looking for some real pictures of birchen adults and this rooster is beautiful!!!! Thank you for sharing
