Cutest Cochin Contest!

[Tonyroo]

Here's my rather brainless but very precious (Hot Lips) Houlihan. Partridge Cochin. Now 11 months but around 8-9 months old in this photo.

I like her pattern and color depth.

This is Margaret. She is a Blue Cochin. Super sweet - loves to be held and is the cutest when she runs. She’s so fluffy she just waddles. My daughter says it reminds her of the chicken in Walt Disney’s Robin Hood - when she pulls up her pantaloons and runs.

Margaret is 20 weeks and hasn’t started laying yet. I don’t think pictures do it justice - but she has beautiful eyes. It looks like she has eyelashes.

I don’t know about you guys - but Cochins have to be the cutest things ever!!!

This is my calico cochin bantam, Mango. She is about 1 1/2 years old. She is very sweet, and loves to be held and be near people. But, she can definitely hold her own against anyone trying to steal her treats!

I can't tell who she takes after, she looks so different from her parents.

Really? How so?
(I have a red bantam Cochin Rooster out with the hens, along with Bootsie and one other. But she has the black patterning on her tail that is almost identical to Bootsie's.)

This is Papaya, a calico frizzle cochin bantam. He is about 1 1/2 years old. Papaya is an absolute sweetheart. He loves to be cuddled, and he likes to sit on my lap. He always makes a big deal of himself, and prances around with his chest puffed up, but his ladies still mostly ignore him. He does do a great job of protecting them though!

I see red mottled coloring on her body, it's on the light side but I can see it.

Yup...

Oh, okay. However, that makes me think Buff Brahma mix even more.
But then again, her grandmother was a Red cochin, who also has the lighter coloring.

She is so cute! I agree with you that cochins are the cutest things ever. My black cochin is so cute when she runs too.

So, does she look cochin or brahma?
