I need to talk about my mean cochin

I have NEVER heard of a mean cochin, not even one that is top hen...are you sure she isn't crossed with something mean?

 

What are the breeds of your other hens?? Seems strange..Our cochin is pretty much the bottom of the totem pole and is quick to dart from potential conflict with others. I suppose every flock is different though! Our top hen, a BR, does bully the other hens if they get inbetween snacks and her. It's hard to see, but I understand the importance of a pecking order.

 

Well now everyone has heard of 2 of them because my blue roo will bite you if you get too close.
Little sucker bites me every time I put feed or water in the pen.I just figured he had the small chicken disease lol

 

I have a few Cochins & they are sweet but not my most friendly, my buff orpington's are! They are super nice & think they are dogs! LOL But Cochins are normally nice!

 

My cochins are nice. I have 3, a blue, a mottled, and a partridge. They are beautiful, but not super snuggly or anything. My BO is the friendliest. Then the Australorps. Those 4 always run up to me, will sit in my lap, want to be picked up, etc. My barred plymouth rock is the top hen and she's not very friendly. She won't chase anyone or be aggressive towards people, she just doesn't like any attention unless it is in the form of treats.

 

My Cochin is too fat and slow to chase the other hens

 

I have all standard size birds except for Sassy, my splash bantam cochin. Meanest little bugger, earned her name Sassy. She bites at me if I get too close, have even had her hanging onto the sleeve of my coat by the beak one afternoon.

I talk nice to her and giver her the same treats everyone else gets, she just does not like me...... at. all.
