What is your goal in breeding Cochins? Are you planning to breed to the Standard and show, or just hatch out chicks for yourself and to sell locally? To have a steady supply of broody hens?

X2 on the above if you are planning on showing them. You can find the SOPs for male Cochins at http://www.cochinsint.com/large-male.html and for female Cochins at http://www.cochinsint.com/large-female.html. These are the traits the judges will be looking for in poultry shows.
