Giant white cochins!!!!

[chickalator]

are giant white cochins really "giant"? are they any bigger than say a standard cochin?

 

[mikarod]

Some say they are, some say they aren't. To me, no...they're not. They are the same size as Standard birds as the APA doesn't recognize three different sizes of chickens.

i hav a friend who wants to make some giant cochins! we were gonna cross a whit cochin with a white jersey giant. how big do you tink it would get?

That wouldn't be a true Cochin now would it? That'd be a Jersey Giant x White Cochin mix. The possibilities are endless. Good luck on getting a quality WJG.

It would be a big bird... but somewhat smaller than the giant.

i would say so. we just wanna see what we could come out with. we finished developing a brooding breed that is kinda hard to get on the market but it was a cross between barred cochin x blue silky, we crossed that bird with a oeg bantam x rir bantam. when that bird went broody for the first time, she hasnt gotten off of the nest for more than two weeks for the last year.
