    Hi all! New chicken lady here.

    Hi everyone, I’m a new member that has been benefitting from BYC posts for months as I navigate my life as a new chicken mom. I started my flock about two and a half months ago: got seven babies and had to rehome one so far as he was definitely a roo. I may be biased but man, I don’t know if...

    First time adding new hens and a Roo

    I acquired 4 hens a few months ago and they are a few years old. They are fairly large red sex links. Today I added 3 new 1 year old chickens. 1 roo and 2 hens. They are bantam Cochins. One of my rsl is really aggressive and is fighting the roo kind of aggressively it seems. Tonight I went to...

    Strange Eggs

    My bantam Cochin is laying strange eggs. She is just over 1 year old. Her eggs have been normal until recent weeks. Now she lays a large (for her) egg with blood on it and a weird seam-like crack towards the pointy end. I can feel the crack when I run my fingernail across it. The shell is not...

    Having fun making designer bantams.

    Greetings folks! The point of this project is to make a cute and marketable bantam crossbred designer chicken. Something I can learn from, enjoy doing, and hopefully sell some to help with the feed bill. The birds being used are a frizzle Dun Barred Cochin bantam male over Mille Fleur d'Uccle...

    ISO Bantam Chicks

    Decided to broaden my search. I am looking for almost any bantam chicks now in the Seattle area. I am willing to drive out about 2-3 hours to pick up a chick or pullet. Breeds that I am really into are Bantam Orpingtons, Australorps, Cochins, Easter Eggers, and any mixes of these. Any color is...

    Bantam Cochin Rooster disposition

    Do Bantam Cochin cockerals/roos tend to be rapey, or more gentle with the ladies? My flock are all 6 weeks and under, but I possibly have 2 Lav Orp roos, 1 Speckled Sussex roo (super obvious at 3 weeks - will likely rehome), and a Bantam Cochin roo with 24 hens. Will my ratio be ok if I only...

    Which Bantam Cochin roo should I choose?

    Another “which roo” thread! In my flock of 17, I have 3 bantam Cochin cockerels, about 4.5 months and a slightly older olive egger roo. He was injured by a fox as at 2 months and has a funny gait- he has no issues roosting, mating or getting around, just looks weird moving, so would be more...

    Hello :)

    Hello Backyard Chickens :) You can call me boggart (the name of my first chicken, a black bantam Cochin hen) or Kaelin, my given name. I’m located in central Oklahoma and am very glad to be here! I can’t wait to make friends and learn lots of new things. Growing up I had around 25 chickens...

    Bantams, too early to tell gender?

    Hi all, I bought two straight run bantams on 4/5/19 and now that they have feathers I'm wondering if they are boys or girls. Buff Cochin bantam and Polish bantam. Also, is there a specific name for this color Polish? Thanks!

    Bantam cochin egg production poll

    Hi all, I'm considering what breed to go with for backyard chickens. I love the lookof bantam cochins and think they may be a good choice for my family. But I'm wondering about egg production as I'm seeing a lot of conflicting info. I'd like several eggs per week but I dont want to be overrun...

    Selling Bantam Cochin hen (Washington State)

    Local pick up only! Clark County area only! Would anyone be interested in taking our red Bantam Cochin hen? She won't stop bullying our 3 younger hens(despite them being bigger than her) and I'm also getting tired of her escaping the yard. She won't be free though but I'll let you pay...

    What to do with her? (Escape Artist)

    Our bantam cochin named Rusty #2 has escaped her yard so many times that I've now lost count. We keep adding more netting, double checking sealed holes, etc.. Nothing keeps her inside. She's spending more time inside our house than out in her yard due to her not sleeping in the coop. She's the...

    How to get and collect semen!

    help! I just can’t seem to successfully artificially inseminate my Cochins! This is my first time with AI. When I flip my rooster over and attempt to receive seamen, nothing happens! I try to stimulate but nothing happens! Anyone have any tricks or advice?!

    Cackling Ranch: Hatching Eggs Thread

    Current eggs available are out of my 2018** pullets: Older hens have stopped for the season.** Flock is PT/AI clean - NPIP has been sent off and is pending. Accidentally let it lapse. Fertility is guaranteed. Hatching is not. Once the eggs leave my property it is up to the post office to get...

    Self blue bantam Cochins (or large fowl??) —ISO

    Such lovely birds at the Ohio National— anyone know of a breeder who might sell one or more of their less-than-SOP grow out birds or extra show quality birds? So in love with the breed and variety! Warm thanks for your thought!
