Of my many breeds I have, Cochins are by far my favorite! Right now, I have 2 Partridges and 1 Buff full-sized girls (who are all super friendly and curious); and four Bantam Cochins (a Barred, a Red Frizzle, a dark Blue hen and a light Blue rooster).

Mine successfully survive frigid, windy winters here in North Central Iowa, and I met my first Cochins in Thunder Bay, Ontario, so your girls will probably do fine in Mpls. -- where I lived for a few years and thought I would freeze to death!

Welcome to you, and the lovely Tori, Soap and Oedi! It's good to meet you!
