Hello , I keep cochin bantams as a hobby and occasionally make a few dollars to pay for chick n coop repairs ,food etc.
I usually just breed color to color but I found myself in a BBS situation. Problem is I have a grizzled black rooster and I don’t know the optimal place for all of my birds...
Our 4-5 year old barred cochin, Gogo, recently recovered from an expensive crop surgery. After she got better she went back in with the other girls and everything seemed fine, her crop is working again and she’s healthy and eating/drinking/walking properly. I was outside today checking up on...
My Bantam Cochin Has been sitting on a few eggs for the past 18 days. She has been doing great and has been a wonderful broody. I have put water and food in a small tray in her nesting box with her, so that she is able to take care of herself without having to go too far. I check on her every...

This is a question for all Cochin Owners or Cochin Enthusiast...I purchased a Splash and Blue Standard Cochin Day Old Females from My Pet Chicken. I was hoping someone could verify the sex for these two. The pictures posted below are at 6 weeks and 9 weeks of age. The Blue Cochin Feather pattern...
So the ONE time I buy sexed pullets, I’m kicking myself because these BOTH look like cockerels.... but I’ve never had Cochins so I want other opinions....( thinking maybe they are different because of their breed? I honestly don’t know much about the breed, except that they have “fuzzy” legs...

Hi I'm new to BYC and needed help identifying 2 of my chickens. The backstory is I ordered hatching eggs from my pet chicken and they gave me a sheet with codes so I can tell what chicks might hatch from the eggs I bought. I bought a random mix and 4 chicks hatched. I'm positive I have 2 cochins...
When did your bantam cochins start laying? Mine is 13 weeks old with bright red comb and wattles, and she squats when I put my hand over her back. I wasn't expecting eggs anytime soon because I've heard that cochins take a long time to mature, but she appears to be ready to lay. Is it possible...
