Hello,

I have 3 Salmon Faverolle's, 3 Blue Cochin's and 3 SS all in one coop,
we recently put the 4 Brahma's that were with 'em with the Del/Dork rooster.

My Dad and I are contemplating getting a rooster for the mixed flock,
we REALLY want a Blue Cochin rooster, but our Faverolle hens are almost like bantams (but not.)
He might be too big.

Even contemplating a SS rooster, BTW how much do they weigh?
And the Faverolle's squat when we walk into the room, imagine a Cochin!

Unless you are getting a true show stock Cochin I wouldn't worry. Hatchery Cochins are small compared to breeder birds. That is true for any breed really. Got an oops buff Cochin cockerel in a hatchery order last year. He was maybe 6 lbs.

For giggles a few years ago I tried raising a few hatchery Faverolles alongside my breeder birds. They matured half the size of mine.
 
Okay, thanks!

Yeah, my Faverolles are small but mighty!

The only reason I am worried 'bout 'em getting hurt is they never had a rooster!
