Cochin Thread!!!

[ChickcrazyCharlie]

Craig, your short essay a few pages back was full of good information and insight. I would like to thank you for all the information you have posted on this thread. I don't ask a lot of questions here, but I am always silently lurking in the shadows trying to learn what I can.

There is no SIZE standard except weight.

Bantam

Large fowl​

Weight:
Cock: 30 oz Hen: 26 oz
Cockerel: 26 oz Pullet: 24oz







Cock...............................11 lbs. Hen.......................................8 1/2 lbs.
Cockerel...........................9 lbs. Pullet..........................................7 lbs.

To further clarify.
The standards state that weights must be in proportion to size, at the same time preserving the ideal shape and type for the breed. There are variances for weight. Allowances are made for weight due to molt during late summer and fall.

Further down in the interpretation of the standards it states:
It is imperative that shape and type be considered of greatest importance.

Hope this helps

She appears to be a white Cochin. I hope that feathers develop well on the middle toes.

ok thanks, i knew the color but was iffy if a cochin or not shes pretty sweet, their supposed to have feathering on the middle toes? let go check our other cochins for that..

 

[CochinBrahmaLover]

heres our frizzle cochin, shes not good quality but cute, shes picked on so she has like NO feet feathering and VERY short toes

otherwise shes fine


and her sad feet


i feel bad, the other chickens basically ATE her feet, she like has no toes

 

[CochinBrahmaLover]

and our black cochin has middle toe feathers, she my best show quality one so far ( my first cochin was a black rooster, I loved him dearly)

I agree with Craig, she needs a lot more foot feathering, but she does appear to be a Cochin. She's cute as all babies are want to be.
