cochin

I got sucked into the chicken craze by being around some cuties for a while. ( I had some many many years ago when we first moved to Texas) I bought Cochin bantam chicks almost 2 years ago and have found that only one is a true Cochin bantam. The rooster has been identified as a Satin, I hadn’t...

Would this be a blue/calico? Got her as a chick so I don’t have the parents, I want to get more like this I have a blue cockerel would that be a recommended pair up ?

On Friday I picked up two bantam frizzle chicks. I got them at delivery so they were only 2-3 days old. Everything was fine and they were both active and eating until Saturday night where I noticed my yellow chick was having watery diarrhea. Since then she has not improved and is sleeping a lot...

Like the title says I'm looking to build a coop for 6 to 8 backyard chickens. My plan is to get lacr cochin so they'll be a bit bigger than average chickens. Now long term.. I know we plan to move in 4 or more years so I was thinking of trying to make the coop able to be taken apart again down...

Does anyone know what I’ll get if I crossed a Lemon blue Cochin to a Blue Cochin. If I was to cross their offspring would I hatch out Lemon blue Cochins?

If I crossed my lemon blues tg what would the offspring be??

hey everyone, i recently had my first hatch with my buff silkie whom of which is a hybrid. i only know it was from a silkie, not about the other part of it's hybrid. and the mother is a silver laced cochin to my knowledge. out of my first hatch, i came across both light feathered and dark...

I just hatched this bantam cochin baby this morning. my question is, is she black or mottled? I know typically mottleds have a lot more white, but she has a lot more white than the other solid black babies I hatched. She has white tipped wings and a little white on her legs. As well as really...

Hi everyone I have a bit of emergency and could use some advice ! I have a nearly 4 year old Cochin chicken with what appears to be a prolapse vent from laying an egg that was to large (look at picture below for egg) for her. Note this is her first egg after going through a molt Two days ago...

I have 3 French (American) bresse hens that I bought as juveniles and enjoyed having so this year I jumped into chicks from tsc. Tsc makes you buy at least 4 so I got 1 cream legbar pullet (to be sure I got at least one female) and 3 feather footed bantams hoping for a silkie. My chicks are a...

So I wanted to get blue Mille fleurs cochins, I only have chciks as of right now. If I wanted to cross a blue over a Mille fleur, i know it wouldn’t be achieved in the first generation, should I breed that generation to the sibling or one of the parents?? If i was to cross a millefleur/blue...

So I just hatched a batch of 22 chicks, 19 made it to hatch and then yesterday one of the chicks started acting weird in the brooder. It was in the incubator about 12 hours before I moved it to the brooder. After about an hour in the brooder I noticed it was weak and panting and also seemed to...

If I breed two naked neck x Cochin tg what would the outcome be?

If I crossed a naked neck x cochin, is it better to cross the offspring with the nacked neck or the Cochin? Or should I cross the offspring together?

hey guys, sorry im doing a double forum post as i just posted a question about a different one of my adult chickens, i figured i'd also ask about my first hatch. it's a product of my hen (suspected silver laced cochin) and either one of my roosters, which is a golden buff silkie named sam, and a...

Hey there! One again back from a break to ask if this silkie rooster looks even a little bit close to Lemon Blue? I'm thinking about crossing Lemon Blue cochins with him to possibly make a Lemon Blue silkie. His mom was a buff, while his father was a black crossed blue(?). He hatched out...

Hello all I am set up to breed Cochins. I have two roosters, a mottled and a lemon splash. My mottled carries black, some blue somewhere and mottled. My lemon splash carries all sorts of weird colors. He assumably carries buff and blue, but when I bred him to a lemon blue bird from his same...

Are you buying / hatching chicks next year ( 2024 )? I’m getting salmon favorelles, Cochin, Orpingtons, and blue red laced wyandotte. What are you getting?

Hi all, I have a small mixed flock that were all purchased as chicks in February, and they all started laying around the end of July - the beginning of August. The 2 white Cochins are both already broody and have been for the last 3 weeks. First, it was just one, but soon after, the other...
