Cochins Vs. Orps Bickering thread CHOOSE YOUR SIDE

[JadeFarms]

Here are my pretty silver laced orps to help others come to the orp side.
They are as sweet as they are beautiful.

Yuck.

My bantam Cochin lays 5-6 days a week..... except when she goes broody.

5-6 days a week is not bad at all.

And her eggs are still about 3/4 the size of a normal sized egg

Not bad at all!

Just thought I'd mention. Look how many Orps we have compared to Cochins

I love them! They're so pretty!

They met them in the hatchery! They’ve probably never told you but they just love Cochins.

No, Lad told me the fluffy cochin chick she saw was scary.

Yeah, that "broody" clause makes a HUGE difference.
Cookie (my bantam orp) is the same. When she was younger egg production was practically daily..... but one year she went broody 5 times! (Mostly because she was stubborn and when I broke her, she just went broody a month later. )

Now she's 6.5 years old, so I'd rather just have her around as the flock mama and queen broody.

Haha I think you misheard she said She wanted to "marry" not "It was Scary"

Orpingtons and equal to Cochins.

I currently like them equally

My bantam Cochin is only 8 months but has gone broody three times

That’s fine but delete O = C
