Cochin Thread!!!

Your welcome. Also, is the Silver Laced a bantam? I know that Craig (Black Cochin Bantams) is interested in finding a nice SL male.

Yes it is a bantam but I hope to get a girl for him. I plan on keeping him.

It's been awhile since I was on this thread - I've been focusing on re-building my Call duck flock after our move to the new house and haven't had much luck hatching any Cochin chicks, only a few new babies so far this year. I just HAD to stop in and share this picture though, it's too cute!

Sooo cute! Reminds me of my Cinnamon when she was a chick.

This is her now. Her face is extra "glowing" from it being hot today. lol

Does this feathering apply to the Large fowl Cochins as well as the Bantams?

Very much so for LF Cochins. As well as how fast, or slow, they mature.

photo of my new chicks, hatched them about 2 weeks ago, 3 frizzle 1 smooth. they are Black with recessive mottled bantam :O

can't wait to see how they turn out. I have tons more photos

Those are really cute. I ended up with a Frizzle in our TSC batch first one i have owned. I have become attached to it lol

 

[TheRealTimShady]

yea, they are pretty crazy looking, its odd tho. They all hatched within 12 hours from first to last. Yet the first one that hatched is about 4 days ahead, feathering out wise, then the other 3 birds. he's got soo much more feathers, and he only a few hours older.

oddity, or something up?

I'm looking for two buff bantam cochin pullets, preferably show quality. I have one show quality rooster and a breeder hen....need to complete a trio.

Also, I could use two black bantam cochin pullets. My show quality hens are getting a bit old. I have some excellent black roos and want to continue their line.

Maine needs more show quality bantam cochins...and I'm determined to keep working on my flock!

Hi Joan,
Do you still have your CI Breeders Directory at hand? You have an excellent Buff Breeder in Hampden, Maine.

the last time i talked to him (via email) he said he didn't have any cochins anymore... don't know if that's changed since last fall.

i miss picking his brains about stuff. he was the reason i got into chickens in the first place... God! almost 20 years ago! yikes. i'm not THAT old, am I??? *sigh* hubby says Yup. I am.

Yes, I just saw him last weekend

And I got my present buff pair from him.
