Finally!! I’ve found and bought a Cochin bantam hen!! I’ve been needing one for a while now, to use as a broody hen for my modern eggs, but I couldn’t find one I liked. At any sale I went to , They all were either too big, too unhealthy/weird looking, or just plain crazy/wild acting when I went to handle them. NOT what I wanted. But finally, today, a man was selling a pen full of 2 month old bantams, and one single year old hen. And she Gorgeous! She kinda spooked a bit when I went to pick her up, but no crazy screaming, which was a somewhat good sign. And you couldn’t beat her $5 price! So, guess who came home with me? She calmed down enough for me to find she is VERY calm and tame, and curious. I’m absolutely in love with her, and very happy to have found her, even if she wasn’t the exact color I wanted.

The only problem...I can’t find a name for her! I had 3 in mind, but liked them all equally, so what do you guys think? I have Lana, Muriel, and Iris. Vote up above, or add your own!! This sweet gal deserves an amazing name.
Over researched and made myself anxious about coccidiosis
