Cochin Thread!!!

Bantam or standard? 14 weeks old. Weighs 2lbs 11oz waterer is 1 gallon for size reference. Other smaller chickens are 8 weeks old.



^^^^ her buddy in this last pic is an 11/12week old golden laced Wyandotte.

She looks like a standard to me.

She's such a sweetie My hubby is worried that she will be ginormous and may hurt the smaller birds. Any truth to that with standard cochins? I'm not convinced of that. My flock is very mixed. We have 2 barred rocks, 2 easter eggers, 2 wyandottes, 2 silkies, one polish, one faverolle, and the one cochin.

I have a few pullets that are 21 weeks old and they are about the same size as my other hens such as my red sex links and easter eggers. My roo on the other hand....he is a big boy.

Thanks! That makes me feel better. I saw a video of a huge cochin roo that was so big the dog was scared of it! My hubby was thinking we'd have a crazy giant chicken tormenting the smaller birds. Haha!

Yeah the roos are pretty big, mine is 8 months old and almost twice the size of my pullets.

I posted a coupke weeks ago on these two Cochins. I have my idea of what gender they are

but would like some input on the one black frizzle/frazzle cochin. I'm hoping maybe he is a pullet. Here we go

obviously I have 1 cockerel on hand. I believe two. I read somewhere that if two Roos are growing together one tends to develop slower. Curly is quite! Doesn't have the strong dominant personality as Billy. What does every one think the gender of Curly is? I'm crossing my fingers! They are 7 weeks. Thank you in advance !

Thank you, If my Mille Fluer d' Uccle goes broody on me and l kept one cockerel .! which would it be? With genetics. I know nothing about!!
Curly is much calmer! which would others on ithis thread choose? And why?
