I hatched this pretty little pullet three months ago. What is her color called? Is her color considered acceptable by breed standards? I haven’t found pictures of bantam cochins who look like her, but I also don’t know what color name to google, so I’m not sure how to research. Any guidance...
I have two bantam frizzle cochins from the assorted bin at Rural King. They are both almost 10 weeks old and I’ve gone back and forth. Right now, I’m leaning roo for the red and pullet for the black. Neither do anything particularly roo-ish. They run away when they see you coming (even though...
I got these from TSC in a bin labeled as “silkie” which is clearly incorrect. I believe they are bantam Cochins but I’m not sure of the colors. I think the brown one is partridge and the light yellow one’s wing feathers seem to be buff. The last two have us stumped but we’ve narrowed it down to...
Hello peeps!
It’s still too early to know for sure, but take your guesses! Little boys or girls?
5 week old frizzle bantam cochins from the Rural King mystery bantam bin.
(i’m leaning boys from the comb and wattle development)
So I bought these at a local fair for $25 for the pair and they were labeled as Buff Columbian bantam cochins. Others have said they aren't and one person mentioned that the hen was actually Furness and not buff columbian. Are there any Cochin color experts or chicken geneticist that could...
These ones were born May 20, and they're a new breed for us. I understand they take forever to sex but is there any way to tell before they crow? They're all so friendly I'd hate for them to all be cockerels.
Also, any ideas on colours? Will my speckled yellow/black baby be mottled? She has...
Hi all!
Thanks for welcoming me into this great community.
I am desperately in need of some advice or information.
I have a bantam Cochin hen who is my best friend (her name is Lady) and we have really been through it lately!
She was attacked by someone in the flock (not sure who) so I...
Hi everyone, I posted a thread a few weeks ago about dealing with some respiratory issues with a few of my bantam Cochin pullets, and the good news is they have gotten better from that. Two of them are totally back to normal and are back with the rest of the flock after being treated with...
I received this boy as a gift. I don’t know anything about the Columbian gene and there doesn’t appear to be many Columbian Bantam Cochins.
Should I try and find a Columbian girl? Or possibly breed him with the other Cochins I have? ( mottled, black, calico)
Not really sure where to go from...
I found these pictures while scrolling through pinterest. They are not mine. Credit to "Pekin Bantams RSA" I guess.
I was looking at some bantam cochin pictures and came across these. Would this be lavender silver penciled?
Hello my fellow Chicken Coopers! My name is Janette and I have never joined BYC until now but I’ve had many chickens! I recently started looking into MF/Calico Cochins because they’re so stunning and so rare in my area so I wanted to bring them here and have them available to my community next...
A new addition to my homestead is this bantam cochin breeding pair. I think they are gorgeous 😍 BUT I am not sure what color they are considered. Please help me identify!

Well heck, it’s day 9 and nothing seems to be happening with the eggs under my bantam cochin.
Do I need to hatch right now? Not really. But I was so excited for a hen to do it, and our little bantam cochin flock is so beautiful.
I have a 7 1/2 qeek old bantam cochin and I'm just not sure about it! We have another one hatched the same day that is most definitely a cockrel (labeled B1). Here is a pic for reference.
But this other one I just can't tell. It has a pretty significant comb, but it's not red like the other's...
Things have been too peaceful here lately so of course today I offer to take in the last four chickens an elderly neighbor was needing to rehome.
I was only going to take her three hens but I just could not leave their rooster all alone. So I have the four if them gated off together in my...
This is Chrissy my frizzled bantam cochin pullet I got as an extra egg with silkie eggs I bought. Now she just kinda lives with my silkies and 2 other non-silkie hens.
I believe she is a black with gold leakage, but she has a couple white tips on her foot feathers. Is that some kind of leakage...
