cochin

I bought a trio of bantam cochin chickens. And the hens are laying eggs, and I have hatched a few of their eggs in the past (6), but the fertility is extremely low. Their age is about 3 years, and I feel like the problem isn't with the age, I think they face difficulty in mating. The male does...

When i go to give my bantam buff Cochin hen some scritchies, she makes a distressed noise!? Maybe she thinks my hand is a scary hawk i dont want her to be scared!!

But what is the difference between a Cochin and an Orpington? Praise The Lord, we have some beautiful chickens, but I don’t know what the difference is between these two. So? Let me know!!! Have a blessed day!!

Hello all! I’ve searched around and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts about my girl, Lizzie. She was my mystery chicken from Murray McMurray (fondly called “bonus fry” by my Nieces and Nephews). I assumed Cochin as she was growing and I always thought she was a Partridge Cochin but she...

The blue gal? Is a egg I hatched from a silver laced red Wyandotte hen and a blue Cochin rooster. The splash of red on the wing just popped. Interested to see how she grows up.

I have been offered a trio of white Cochins. They are from an amazing bloodline. However their age concerns me. They have 2019 rings on them. That means they were hatched in 2019. It’s been a few years since that time and just wanted to know if the hens will lay well. I’ll be attaching some...

I have a few “barnyard mix” chickens and I’m wondering about my girl Ms. Frizzle and thought I’d ask to gain a better understanding of the frizzle gene. Her mother was a blue Cochin and there are several possible fathers. The mom was a normal smooth feathered Cochin. If I understand the...

I have two minis, a hen and a rooster. I think the rooster is a Partridge, but I’m not sure. The hen is just said to be a Japanese breed. No idea what that could mean. Her mother was black, and her dad was red. what types of Cochins are these?

my flock is mostly bantam ICochin and Cochin mixes, and I live in the Pacific Northwest, where it rains most of the year. last year most of my birds feet feather broke off or I had to cut them back because of the rain. their run gets pretty muddy, I put down sand usually which helps but isnt a...

I can not decide who who is cuter, bantam cochin or d'uccle. What is your opinion? This is only about their cuteness, not their personality or anything else.

Hi all, We just bought 3 young Cochin hens, just laying age and we are wondering about the quality of one in particular because my daughter would like to show her. Please let me know what you think. Thank you 😊

So I posted awhile back about these pullets (hopefully!!) and I’m wondering if they are filled out enough to see any telltale signs of possible breeds? They are now 10 weeks old. I have determined that the Mother was a Blue Cochin (LF) and we are guessing the fathers were either a Black Frizzle...

I currently have a pair of Jungle Fowl, Ameracuana, and Cochin mix chickens in need of a new home. They are super handle-able and people friendly. We hand raised them after finding a rat snake eating the eggs in the nest as they were hatching, but it's time for them to go to someone else's flock...

my new cochin hen has this lump on her foot, it doesn't seem to hurt but I wanna treat it. Anyone know what this is and how to cure it? I put some ballistol on it for now Thank you! :)

I know there are some Cochin people on here…s/he has looked just like this since about 4 weeks old. No growth, no change in color…and all the other boy Cochins have very obvious combs and wattles. So when I compare to the other chicks, I feel like she is a she…but I figured I’d get second...

I have a rooster about 18 weeks old started limping. He’s just not doing any better. I don’t see signs of Bumblefoot or any wound or anything broken. He’s a Cochin, so it’s really hard to see anything. He still looks beautiful, has a healthy look and appetite for food and mating, but his leg...

I have a very lethargic hen she’s normally very active perky and eats like a pig but she’s slow seems tentative to walk. Not interested in food. face is nice and red. They’ve been wormed three weeks ago but I’m now doing again just to make sure that’s now the problem. she has a slightly...
