Cochin Thread!!!

[cochinfan05]

It is a possibility he isn't pure bred. My daughters 2nd grade class hatched eggs and he was the only one that hatched. The teacher got the eggs from a college? and was uncertain of breed. I just assumed he was a standard cochin cause he's large and fluffy with lots of feathers on his feet.

Hello Everone, Glad to see this Cochin Thread. Seen lots of nice pictures and thought I would share one of ours. These three girls and about 8 to 10 weeks old.

Quote: MUCH! for 2 reasons. 8) besides the fact that I like their personalities better...
1, they can see above and behind themselves to see if a predator's coming, and 2, if it rains (which is has LOTS this year), they're much more water-resistant. 8)

then again, I free range unless they're in a breeding pen.

EXACTLY! Some momma's like mine don't know how do detach themselves from their chicks after 4 1/2 months of having them.

Could he be a lemon blue? It's kinda hard for me to tell in the picture.

Or maybe a brassy back.
