Update Nov. 11 -- Not POL, at least 2 are now Laying.
From Ideal Hatchery's May 19th hatch so 18-weeks at the time I post this.
1 French Cuckoo Marans -- Fricasee
2 Dominiques -- Classic and Everroast
2 Large-Fowl Silver-Laced Cochins -- Nugget and Kebob
All healthy and without any issues...
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...
I have 4 stunning hand raised young roosters (under a year old) looking for their forever homes. PET ONLY not for food!
1 mottled Cochin bantam
1 white Cochin bantam frizzle (proven breeder)
1 calico Cochin/silkie cross bantam
1 blue splash Cochin/silkie cross bantam
Please private message me...
(Edit: I did find 1 other thread about brooding outside) I can't seem to find many articles on this topic in the forum anywhere so I thought I would share my experience! This may be a no brainer for some but with everything and everyone everywhere talking about raising in brooder boxes this was...
Updated photos of our chicks! After a few questions on breeds, I think we nailed it…maybe. Now we are (not so patiently) waiting to find out genders.
Speckled Sussex
BW Crested Polish
Black Australorp
Barred Cochin
Appenzeller Spitzhauben
White Ameraucana (because the legs are gray)
I didn't want to post this is the emergencies/disease/illness thread bit if it belongs there please feel free to move it! This 5 day old bantam cochin is getting wing feathers and they're growing in kinda funny, they stick out away from the body instead of laying flat. Any opinions? I've raised...
My new chick's came today!! 4 assorted silkies and 4 assorted cochin bantams. This little guy/girl is quite a bit lighter than the other patridge I've identified. Do they vary that much in shade?
Hey guys! I want to pick the brains of some of you all. :)
I ordered eggs online through a supplier in AL and ultimately thanks to package handling I'm $250+ later and I have a single golden laced cochin chick. I'm working with USPS on the claim regarding handling issues, but that's neither...
Yall......I have 9 straight run bantams that I have been DNA testing a few at a time. (Because I'm impatient and don't want to wait until they grow up😅) and all the results are in!!!!
Drum roll please...............................8 are female!!!😯😯 I'm thrilled since I already have a silkie and...
Located in Bozeman, Montana. We will deliver them to you or meet you in town.
I have 4-5 year old chickens and ducks in need of homes. Unfortunately I'm not sure who is still laying, but some of the hens are still laying some eggs. Any of them anyone is willing to take in would be a blessing...
i noticed today that our 1 year old splash cochin has some little white worms in her poop, they are very small and its the first time ive ever seen it happen:(. she is an indoor chicken (cause of unavoidable circumstances) and so im around her pretty much 24/7. she has been broody the past few...
