After raising a beautiful Golden Lace and Silver Lace trio and a Partridge Roo we have come to really love the Cochin bread. It was devastation when we went out of town last year and our caretaker forgot to shut the coop 1 night and we lost them all to Coyotes!! We have since moved off the farm and now in about only a 2 acre yard but I just couldn't give up raising chickens with my son. This March I got 18 Cochins all white and Partridge! I love going out every 3-4 hours to visit them! Here is Nikki (girls name for Nikon since she loves the camera and I have a Nikon). She is the only one that likes the camera. She will peck at it every time I have it in the coop with me

Look to the APA standards, they will tell you the requirements for a large fowl.
