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...
Ok so I wanted to tell yall bunny's story. Basically we got a bunch of chicks for free from my brother who works at the hatchery. IMMEDIATELY when I saw them I noticed bunny bc she was so different from the rest as chicks we had ones with across. Yellow ones. Black ones. Brown ones. But bunny...
This is my Luna - very friendly, loves to jump on my lap and hang out at her leisure. The only stubbornness is that she won't go into the coop at night. Every night, I have to walk out and put her in.
I bred my Millie to a calico roo and it may be too soon to tell sex but a Cochin person said I had a few Roos and I’m looking to get opinions!
(Also have this copper maran and he is the only one in that pen who has a bright red comb so I’m assuming he is a roo since the other 11 marans hatched...
Hi all - any guesses at gender on these two. Not entirely sure how old. I think the calico bantam is around 6-7 weeks and I think the blue standard Cochin is maybe 7 weeks. TIA
Hi,
Looking for help/advice.
I have this beautiful large Cochin hen. For the past month her feathers are all ruffled and not smooth like the other hens.
2 of my hens went broody for 3weeks and my rooster then chose her as his favourite hen. Which resulted in her loosing back feathers that are...
Hello! I am so excited to be sharing info and pictures of my chicks with you all! This will be my second time ever raising chicks and my first time with them being bantams!
I ordered them from Stromburg’s Hatchery. I know some people have things against hatcheries (TBH, I don’t LOVE them...

Peppercorn is a 4 week old sexed pullet from Meyer Hatchery. Her feather pattern suggests pullet (partridge on wings), but the comb seems red to me for how young she is, and she’s slow to feather which sometimes suggests rooster.
If anyone has experience with this breed/pattern, let me know if...
Hey guys! So I ordered 10 standard brown egg layers from tractor supply (which uses Hoover's Hatchery). They listed breeds that could be in the mix, and there were no cochins or brahmas listed, so I thought I was safe from feather footers, but alas, 8 of my 10 have very fluffy feet.
Could use...
Hi! I have a couple older hens who need rehoming (not urgently): a white cochin and a buff brahma. the cochin is a sweetheart (i have picked her up and pet her all her life) while the brahma can be a bit of a bully. The cochin does not reliably lay eggs anymore but the brahma does lay eggs...
Hello everyone!
I have a little self blue cochin chick that I bought from one of my personal favorite hatcheries, Ideal Poultry. Unfortunately, this year was not a great year considering their genetics, as in the same batch I had a chick with pus coming from its eyes. Even with assisted feeding...
Hi all!
My Cochin pullet appeared with this hurt beak when we came back from a trip. What happened? Is there anythIng I can do to help her? She is still eating and drinking to my knowledge, I just want her to be okay.
Good morning everyone,
I bought two young bantam cochins at the Ohio National a few weeks ago. I brought them home, and put them in quarantine. After a day, both had a sneeze and very light gurgling when breathing. I immediately treated them with All-in-One powder, which treats multiple...
I have a barred Cochin roo and a buff silkie hen. What will the outcome of their chicks be? They just happen to be each other favorites and they get along extremely well.
I feel like I’m posting on this topic way more than I should 🤦♀️ I have four newbies, one blue red laced Wyandotte, one lavender Cochin, one lavender Orpington, and one salmon favorolle. They are four months old, I put the Wyandotte in a local poultry show as a pullet, and they said she was a...
