Nice!
There was one partridge bantam at the feed store when we got Holly, but it was looking like a little roo, so we went for her.
I have a white banty, so a mini-me of yours! 🤣
Then the Cochin is right for you, my dear.
I can't remember to be honest, but I know mine go broody more than they lay eggs. And only once did I let my cochin hatch out her own egg, and that was how Bootsie came to be.
I love the idea of a polish cochin!🤩
And as for mix breeding, I have a cockerel whose mother was a red bantam Cochin, and his father was a standard size, large Buff Brahma.
His name is Bootsie, and he is very sweet!
Mine aren't unfriendly, they just dont get handled a whole lot. So they aren't cuddly.
But yes, if constantly held and raised right, as with any chicken, they can be very friendly!
