    HELP ME UNDERSTAND

    Hi all, I went to a local auction hosted by a poultry club today and came home with a pair of white bantam Cochins. The hen is great - super cute, healthy, etc. The rooster, I’m not sure what to think. His feet are all strange and what look like to be deformed. Please take a look at the...

    My Cohins.... are not Cochins!

    What could the be? I'm thinking White Cochin x EE but I'm a newbie.... Does anyone here have an idea what they might be? They are 7 weeks old, have muffs, beard and feathered feet. They are Bantam. Thanks

    Cochin bantams?

    I thought these 5 week old chicks were cochin bantams, but then I read a thread that said all cochins have yellow legs. These two both have dark legs, and one looks like it may be a frizzle. Both are supposed to be pullets. Thank you in advance for any input.

    Blue barred Cochin for buff barred project

    I bought some barred bantam cochins, and one of them appears to be blue. Instead of being black like the others, the striping is a medium-light gray color. I was planning on using one of my barred roosters to start a buff barred project… And I think the blue barred one is going to be the nicest...

    I'm looking either for day old chicks to be shipped, or hatching eggs from Washington State. I am in Wenatchee, and will consider traveling an hour away. I would prefer to purchase from somewhere close, as I don't want the eggs to have a long transit time. I am OK with purchasing quality day old...
