BANTAM COCHINS CLUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the color would be porcelain? They look a little like porcelain D'Uccles but those have fluffy cheeks

Edit: oh they definitely have fluffy cheeks, look up porcelain D'Uccles and see if they look the same. They aren't Cochin (at least not 100%)
I have a Mille fluer D'Uccle hen

wow!! They look EXACTLY like my chicks! They are beautiful!! Thank you!

Just wondering, do you think they would be okay with LF birds? I have 16 LF (4 right now 12 coming in a few weeks) and only these 2 bantams. Are they usually able to stand up for themselves? Sorry i am new at this

Okay thank you so much! I've been so worried that I will have to give them away. They are such sweet birds!

I have a bantam cochin rooster and he gets along fine with everyone, he is our only bantam, he even stands up to our giant SLW rooster sometimes.. He also does well with the other large fowl hens.

Bantam Cochin roosters are feisty and can mostly hold their own in a large breed flock. I keep several extra rooster with my large breed flock. The bantam hens can be either way. Some are more assertive than others. Some are quite meek and can get bullied. Thankfully standard cochins are easy going and shouldn't bully the bantam, but all birds have different personalities, so you never know.

Roosters are feisty. I think it best to have more bantams than large fowl, two little bantams in a flock of 11 or so large hens will get picked on and probably keep to themselves. But, it all depends on the breeds.
