16 week gold laced Cochin bantam

[Checota]

This pullet with male attitude is queen among the other bantams except the OEGB hens of course who rule the roost. Never had the variety of Cochin but many of the pictures show variable markings, I find hers very nicely marked. Show off your gold laced Cochin bantams let’s compare color, size, personality, likes and dislikes about this breed but particularly this color variety.

She is 16 weeks, and sweet as pie with people can hold her own with dogs cats and skunks.
Really like this pullet. Of course this one is a pet like all my bantams and laying hens.
Not the best shots but here goes.

Yeah!!! I have one and at 17 weeks I would say we each have a beauty queen in the family!

Wow, she is lovely! I am thinking about getting some next spring. Most of my birds have passed away now and even my heritage line Barred Rock group and my breeder type Brahma flocks are no longer young so I was thinking about future plans, making things easier to manage. I had a lavender bantam Cochin hen and a black rooster (who never met each other), both lived with the large fowl flocks, both lived to be about 4 1/2 years old, both hatchery birds. I adored them both and the rooster, Xander, was awesome. Best crow ever, deep for a little man, kept those big hens and the up and coming cockerels in line. I called him my Munchkin Dictator. I don't want to have separate breeding groups anymore so I'd like a mixed bag of hens led by a little bantam Cochin guy or two. They watch the skies as well as any rooster does. I love the gold laced color.
