Bantam Cochin thread.

[ApiaryandAviary]

I have been looking for bantam Cochins for awhile if anyone knows of someone in southern oregon that has some I would love to know. I don't care on color or sex just want some gorgeous little chickend running around

Hello, my suggestion is buy eggs and hatch them. I do not ship
Live babies.

My cockerel keeps trying to sleep in the nesting boxes, and this evening I pulled him off of an egg! Whoever heard of a broody rooster?

Could it be, because roos do not bury their heads like hens do, that while he tried to rest the girls are ganging up on him? He may hide out there for protection?

Just got my first breeding pair of black cochins. The hen is a smooth and the rooster is a frizzle.

Is this a brown/red cochin?

Can anyone help me with this 6 week olds gender?? I'm usually really good with genders, but I have almost no experience with this breed, I'm leaning towards roo though.

Hi everyone, I am again starting to search for bantam cochins. I will be looking to add this summer, so soon. I just haven't been able to find exactly what I want yet, with shipping. I am looking for the following:

Colors of interest: Black, Blue, Splash, possibly mottled, and possibly calico

Age: Anything that is out of the brooder up, but nothing very old please, I plan to keep these birds for their whole life.

Sex: I will be looking for one cockeral for the black, blue, and splash pen, one cockeral for mottled, and one cockeral for Calico. Basically I need one rooster with any pullets I purchase. I would like to buy trios or more at once, but I will look at pairs.

I need someone who can ship to me, I am in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Healthy only, please! I am not ready to purchase today, but if I can find someone who has what I want, we can get it all worked out. I am seriously looking. Thank you in advance!

Hi you all!
I am new chicken owner, I hatched my first chick this summer from a grocery store egg. As I only got one poor baby hatching, I had to buy some company to her.

So I got myself 4 Pekin / Bantam Cochins, "pure bred". But - breeding chickens to Standard of Perfection is not very common here in cold and far away land of north (Finland), I don't have a clue what color they are. ...and such perfectionist that I am, it annoys me so much that I don't know what they are, and that I don't know how to start breeding wisely with them.

And of course one problem being that they are all cockerels so I'll be needing some hens later on. So after all this blabbering, could you wise people of this forum firstly tell me what colours these are (probably poor colors and not wisely bred), and then address me to a website that would have photos and genetics explained for this breed? I have background of breeding show rodents ans also purebred dogs, and I really would love to get a new breeding project going on. They all are sired by splash rooster and dams are black, buff and ??yellow? (photos of them are on the bottom).

so, the boys:
#1


#2


#3 (in the back) & 4 (front)


proud daddy & moms:



If anyone is willing to help, I would be so happy Thanks in advance.
