To be honest, didn't know there was a dwarf gene!! I have never had one this small before. Shoot maybe I could create a new fad, micro chickens, (they do it with everything else anyways)

i know there is a breed mentioned on Feather Site that has 'dwarfism' that can pop up but i am not certain which breed, i don't know if it is in cochins at all.
 
I just found this thread! I have some Cochins, at least I think they are. :cdHere we go:

Not me, Mike, mine are all slackers. I threatened them with soup pot yesterday. Didn't do a bit of good though! LOL Beautiful GL. They truly are my favorites of the Cochins!

I have a very teeny tiny Columbian cochin roo. I'll have to weigh him but he's not much bigger than your little girl. She's adorable!!

Here is my one year old GL Cochin hen, Swiffer, "talking" to my daughter.

I only have two Cochins currently (the other is a Silver Laced). My only complaint about them is that these two seem to have a system worked out where they are never both laying at the same time! The SL just started back laying this week after taking a 3 month vacation which started when she molted. The GL stopped laying this week and appears to be trying to molt now. Its a conspiracy I tell you!

I'll get pics of my other girls later !
 
I had a "dwarf" bantam cochin pullet very recently. I sold her to a family with kids......along with a bunch of other bantam cochin hens.

Here is a blurry picture that shows her size well. That is a regular size bantam cochin pullet with her.....they were all hatchmates and Point of Lay when these pix were taken.
