Sorry, I was told they were cochin brahmas Will have to remove them from the contest, but would very much like to know what the difference is. Thanks

They are two distinct breeds...brahmas, have pea combs and aren't found in nearly as many varieties as cochins, which are more rounded and have single combs.

Here's some info on cochins... http://feathersite.com/Poultry/CGA/Cochins/BRKCochinBty.html

The following Cochins were all killed by dog attack the day before Thanksgiving, Should have had them penned that day since we were all running errands..Wanted to show them anyway, if that is okay. I have since then bought a couple more Cochins but don't have pics of them yet and no pics of my only Cochin survivor.
