Not a silly question at all. I've heard it all 3 different ways, and there's probably a 4th way I'm missing. I used to pronounce it Co-shin, but in the past couple of years, I switched to Co-chin. And I'm still not sure I have it right!

Wish you luck with your new baby. I have a small Cotchin hatched out of a blue egg myself. To me, I don't see much Ameraucana in her, but I'm hoping she will give me some blue eggs.

HAHA I pronounced it Co-kin lol Shows how many different ways it can be pronounced, depending on who you talk to. The guy I got it from pronounced it Caw-kin. Thanks for the link to the speaker!!

Thanks!! I have another one, that is part Black Copper Maran, and I think he is part Cochin. He's going to be our keeper roo, so I can't wait to see what his offspring look like.

LOL! Sounds like you have one that is 1/2 Ameraucana-1/2 Cochin, and one that is 1/2 Maran-1/2 Cochin. I think it's time to double your fun and get one that's 100% Cochin!

Here is my Co-chin

Americauna mix. I think "she" is pretty.

and this is my Black Copper and Cochin (I think) mix that we call Foghorn. He is VERY friendly, my nicest bird.

You think Cochin is bad............try having d'Uccle. I don't think there is a single breeder that can agree with another on how to pronounce that one.
