Bantam Cochin thread

[Love my chickens 25]

Hi so I have looked and can’t find a bantam Cochin thread so I thought I would start one. I breed bantam Cochins so would love to have a place to talk about mine and everyone else’s! So please join just remember to follow BYC rules and this is for all ages.

Oooh, I love bantam Cochins!! One of my top three breeds for sure! I am working on building up a good group of silkie-feathered Cochin bantams for breeding, and I have some smooth-feathered Mottleds from Meyer Hatchery that I got on a whim a few years back. Love my little round sassy fluffball chickens

Unfortunately, I seem to be having some technical difficulties uploading pictures of my silkied Reds... Here is my growout trio of silkied Black Cochin bantams, though, and the surprise recessive white that popped up in the same hatch. My handsome man Gus and his girls, Myrtle, Zinnia, and the recessive white girl, Dandelion:

Bantam Partridge Cochin... Mr. Fancy Pants. He is the gentlest rooster I have ever had, besides his offspring. He’s not cuddly, but a perfect gentleman. He’s helping raise his “granddaughter” right now; never showed any aggression towards her.
