What I know is available are 4 breeds; Cochin Bantams(frizzle and smooth), Silkies, Showgirls and D'Uccles. Please contact me with info on varieties etc. I will say this, it is to help a person who needs it, and they are needing to get rid of close to 200 birds, ASAP, and is willing to let them go for cheap. These birds are AMAZING, here is a very rare chance to get some of the best for little of nothing.

I am selling out of my Mille Fleurs, just don't have the time for so many colors. I am down to my best hen "Mellie", and 2 Roos. PM me with offers.

Today I lost my 5 month old Lf blue cochin hen. The rooster that she was raised with wouldn't leave her side even though she was already dead. I let them all outside and noticed that the young rooster wasn't leaving, so I walked in and saw her laying there. It got me thinking about a few other chickens that have died in the past. I have raised about 30 cochins to this age from chicks and I would say that 5 of them died at 5 months for no apparent reason.

I examined her the best I could, but the only thing I noticed different was that around her comb was bright red, like a really bright usual red, though it's been freezing everynight lately, so that might have something to do with it. Another 5 month old cochin hen was unable to use her legs a day before she died. She couldn't walk right and died the next day. The other 3 showed nothing. A perfectly healthy bird one day, and then gone the next. Other than old age, and one to a predator, I haven't lost any birds except these. Has anyone else had problems with their cochins around this age? I just don't understand why these seemingly healthy birds passed away.

Very nice cochins! And your son has such a cute smile with a very innocent expression, I can see him getting away with things, hahaha.

Congratulations! In a few years will we see some laced Cochins too?

Ugg. We'll see.

It took us forever to get 5 LF Cochins ready. I swear it took as long to prep them as it did the other 27 birds together.
