Bantam Cochin thread

[CrazyCochin]

Can anyone tell me the color of my cochin bantam? He is a little over 6 weeks. I just love him and now looking to buy more cochins. Also, is there any particular colors that I should look for in a female that would make pretty colored babies with him? I really like the blue ones I've seen.View attachment 2695279View attachment 2695285View attachment 2695290View attachment 2695291View attachment 2695292

Hello Cochin family!
It has been a while since I have been on here!
How is everybody? How are your Cochins?

Mine are doing great, Holly and Hylia are brooding, and it is driving me crazy!
Back around Feb, Holly hatched out a LF Buff Brahma X Red bantam Cochin crossed chick!
He is older now, but since he is a mix, I doubt anyone would care for pictures...

Hi everyone! I saw this thread and thought why not joining.
My adventure with bantam cochins started yesterday. I got two young couples of black and millefleur. I wasn't expecting they were so sweet and friendly, they like to be petted and will sit on my lap peacefully. They don't even try to go away when you pick them up
My brahmas are also quite friendly, they let me pet them but they don't like to be picked up

Since they are so sweet I decidet to name them as dessert names

So, I introduce you Mousse

Frittella (which means pancake)

Strudel

And Budino (which means pudding)

They are about 4 months old, this means I'll see their first eggs in mid-january, right? I got them to begin breeding to the SOP bantam cochins, too. Until now I bred white columbian black/blue Brahmas. Then, earlier this year, I added japanese quails (pharaoh, golden and golden speckled). I'm also trying with button quails but it's not going so well, I'm being a bit unlucky with them lol.
To complete my projects I'll search next year for some black/blue Brahmas and some blue bantam cochins.

Thank you!

Usually here hens stop laying in mid-november, then restart in mid-january.

They are gorgeous!
