I want to see your Murray McMurray hatchery stock Giant Cochins!

[LMEggs]

I know a guy that is selling murray McMurray hacthery stock giant cochin partridges and they are so hard to find around here... I didn't much want hatchery stock but if they are decent enough to work with even... And hes a bit far out and no pictures to see so its go or no go. Soo I wanna see the quality of Giant Cochins from MM!

I wasn't sure where exactly to post this so...

Here are the Giant Partridge Cochins I got from Murray McMurray.

I am confused by the term "Giant Cochin", does that mean large fowl (as opposed to bantams)?

Ya I believe it is Large Fowl.. I think it is one of those Hatchery term to make them sound bigger or better than the standard Large Fowl..
To me there not that a "Giant" as far as Cochins go..

Mahroni has some that his wife says are bigger than the dog.

Maybe you can get some eggs from him?

Giant and standard are the same thing. IMO Partridge cohcins still need alot of work. The ones I had, and sold, had gorgeous coloring, but the leg feathering left much to be desired. I still have one partridge roo (from a breeder) and he is HUGE. But again- the inside of his legs are naked. I had to get 3 BBS girls from Meyer (MPC) because I had way too many roos. One of them ended up with crazy color- almost black-laced-blue.

I'm going to ask ABA/APA judge Matt Lhamon who he thinks has the best LF Part Cochins. He used to breed them, and may have some now. I'll get back to you when I hear.

I saw some GIANT cochins at our county fair this year. They were far bigger than any of the other standard variety chickens.

GORGEOUS! I don't know where they came from, but most people around these parts just have hatchery birds...

Show quality Cochins are just HUMONGEOUS. I can see how they'd be thought of as giant.

I ordered blue standards from MM this spring. out of 10 I have two nice ones the rest are ok but lack leg feathering. I bought some roos with massive feathering so hopefully this willl improve.
