Cochin Hatching Eggs, UK?

[penkwolf]

Hi everyone,

I currently have 7 chickens which are all female:

1 cream legbar
2 wynadottes
1 black rock
1 mixed
1 campine
1 cochin

To cut a long story short, we lost our orpingtons earlier this year and 1 of our cochins. We really love both breeds and can find orpington hatching eggs in the uk but cant find any cochin ones

Does anyone know where else to look or ask other than just ebay?

Thanks

Try looking for pekin eggs (they're another name for Cochin but a lot of people over there call them pekin instead)

Pekin in the uk are bantam cochins
There are still full size Cochins which are called cochins

Ah, okay. I thought all of them were called pekin

In Australia I think all cochins are called pekin whether they are bantam or LF, it gets very confusing.

Have you tried the cochin breed club? They might know where you can find some
