    Intro.

    Hi everyone. Fell in love w chickens about two years ago when my mom volunteered me to adopted five chickens from her coworker who was moving. So far we’ve been challenged by building a coop, rehabbing a used coop, mites, relocated raccoons, broody hens, and the terrible loss of our first...

    Feathered feet in heat

    Hello! I’ve got a pair of cochin chicks. I have read several times about being careful that they don’t get too muddy on their feet. I realize for winter that can mean frostbite but what about summer? I provide my girls with a shallow dish they can walk into and it helps keep them cool. Of course...

    One hen is trying to steal another hen's baby chicks!

    This is very bizarre. So I have one hen that had her chicks hatch at least two weeks ago. She's been walking around with them happy as can be. However, there was another hen who was broody at the same time, and continued trying to sit on the eggs until yesterday (I was removing the eggs from...

    Cochin really a cockerel?

    Hello! I thought this cochin chick is a cockerel. As I am living in a no roosters allowed area, I posted an add in the local chicken group on fb and someone wants him. But this one lady messaged me saying that he infact is a she?! So now I am confused. He (or she?!) is 2 months old. Does...

    Too Young?

    Hey just wanted some opinions. I have a Cochin hen that is broody and I would like to hatch my own eggs this year, but I’m worried she if her being young might not make her a great candidate for a mom. She was hatched in October and she is still kinda small, not full grown yet. Her eggs are...

    Cochin Cockerel?

    Each week I change my mind about this chick's gender. Right now I think cockerel. Any experts out there have any ideas? He is about 6 weeks old.

    Bantam cochin fertility issues

    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...

    Some type of Cochin?

    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...

    Will a 3-4 year old hen lay eggs?

    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...

    Frizzle Cochin genetics question??

    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...

    What type of cochins

    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?
