Went out and took a few pics after I posted the boys...and here are some fresh pic's and some new babies ( 4 days to 3 weeks old)
I think I like the first rooster but I'm new to the cochins so I might not be correct. I have a splash and a blue girls. I love the babies!! So cute

Thought I would share some photos of my cochin gal! She is 7 months old now. She was a lone chick, so she is a part of our human family indoors. She roosts on my computer chair! She needs a wee beak trim in some of these, we give her things to whet her beak on but she insists on rubbing it on soft things like blankets and pillows.
trying to get a photo of her looking in to the camera, her waiting for me to sit down so she can be snuggled
Stomping around in the cat bed she confiscated from said cat, football mode on her perch in the middle of the night
Some silly faces from when she was a bit younger and one more normal shot
helping asses the garden with me right after we moved here (we go outside for long periods daily, weather permitting. All she usually wants to do is forage a little then hover around the door to go back in, ha)
1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks
She will be getting more cochin friends in the spring. For now, I had only 1 of my 18 serama eggs hatch, it is a little rooster. He's only a month old so they're not allowed near one another, but they already purr to each other at night and even when he's jumped out of the brooder she hasn't bum rushed him so hopefully they will be friends when he's old enough.

She is adorable
I was always in love with sizzles over Cochins...and just lately that flipped. Cochins are adorable and sweet like sizzles, but sturdy and big birds in tiny bodies. (I have bantams) Next spring I'm going to hatch like crazy with the LF and bantam Cochins. I have all my birds, D'Uccles to Marans together in a huge flock and they all do fine. Space and broodies are key. I try not to grow out chicks without a broody. Never a problem with my girls. I usually have a few broody girls at all times. :/
My Cochins are all always roosting in the pen and in our pine trees when they're out free ranging.

LOL I sure wish I could be so free.. I would have that many.
Living in the outer limits of the city. Keeps me at bay..
I can only go for one handful of pets Cochin chickens.
Setting up about 15 eggs to hopefully get a hen from three colors I have chosen and on Roo.
lol If all hatch out, then I will be on the forum finding loving homes for my extras I cannot house.

Ok, I didn't add all of mine up when I listed them, but now since someone else had the guts to do it, I'll give you my total.Holy Cow, I have 136 birds right now!!! Ok, I knew it was over 100, but when I look at it on paper, it seems so much more crazy!!! Luckily, my hubby is on board and keeps building me more coops and runs.
