Awesome! Good luck!

And you say Blue... Just blue? blue is usually part of blue/black/splash. There are ways to ensure blue though, I just don't see many people specifically breed that way. Blues are my favorite though!

Good luck! I have a weekend with nothing hatching.
I use a similar one as a baby coop. They work fairly well. My only comment would be if you have harsh weather at all, try and protect it. The wood is kinda flimsy, and the sun will break it down. The roof won't stand alot of rain and snow. Mine is on a covered porch of my shop building, and has held up pretty well for 2 years now.

Yes, they'll be hatching BBS. People around here do that with all the breeds. Call them blue. I think because their hens doing the laying are blue? I was confused when I first encountered it with Marans and thought I was getting all blue! Lol.

Good luck with chicken math

LOL..so I have heard!

x2!! Especially with bantam cochins, they're great!

Agreed...AND since they are Bantams...doesn't that mean REALLY two bantams = 1 standard....so you can have twice as many???LOL!!! Thank goodness I have friends who want chicks as well so I will be sharing SOME chicks I hatch......maybe???

It will be fine, especially because you will likely plan expansion in no time

Exactly!

Funny you say that, because we have been already talking about what we eventually want...this coop is just the beginning

Hubby REALLY likes ducks and would like to have some

Yes it does look frizzle but I think it is still too young to tell if it's a girl or a boy.

Bantam Cochins are great

I recently got two Cochin chicks. Can someone explain to me what bantam means? Are all Cochins bantams?

Bantam means they are smaller, cochins come in both standard and bantam.

How do I know if they are bantom or regular?They just said blue Cochin. I bought them at a local Agway along with other egg layers. Also how well do they produce?
