I have always liked Cochins over any other breed of chicken since I was 3 years old as this was what my grandfather raised. His rooster Colors was super frienldy and now, I have taken on Cochins in both Bantam and Large Fowl. The Banams I have are Mille Fluer Project, Mottled, Blue, Mottled, Splash, Buff Barred, and my own "designer" colored Cochins, I just mix up all colors to see what I get for fun. In LF I have Lemon Blue and Brown Red. These are Lynne's (wwmicasa1) version. I love this color. I only have two that have yellow in them but will hopefully get some more from hatching. All my LF came from Lynne.

Here are my Bantams.

I have 3 of this color. The father of them was my black mottled Dudley.


Here is Napoleon- another I hatched from Dudley-



This is my first Cochin I hatched. Her name is Chess


Chief- has horrible type but at the time I purchased him I knew nothing about type or quality


This is Remington. I got him from Lynne and was my first Mille Fleur cochin rooster. He is 1 of my favorites.






The following I got all came from Nancy (Fancy Feathers).

Sunshine Roo- has the best type in my MF's.




Kipper- He was supposed to be a calico but it doesn't look like he will. I won't care though- as long as he developes type and isn't dark red like Remington. I'm hoping Kipper is my lightest of the Mf 3 cockerels.


Tuba- she is my Mille Fleur Mottled pullet. I'm hoping she will be a big help in my Mf project as her mother looks awesome and gives Nancy georgous Chicks. Her sister Oboe is also beautiful. But I don't think I will have to worry about Tuba. She is already super.
