Large Fowl Cochin Thread

[I Love Layers]

Really happy to see a LARGE Cochin thread! I fell in love with the breed last year when we got a black "bonus chick" with our order from McMurray. We laughed ourselves silly over his big feet, and as he matured, we liked the body shape and temperament (even though he was a roo). I let a friend have "Bigfoot" for her large flock in the country, but missed him. So ordered three blue cochin hens this year - got one blue, one black, one splash, all with the blue gene. And got a splash roo as the bonus chick! Score! I'm hoping to raise a few chicks, but I'll have to house the cochins away from the rest of the flock.

Two weeks ago I found a couple of partridge cochins to add to my collection. So I'm in cochin heaven right now ---- can't stop watching them! This seems to be a seriously underappreciated breed, and the bantams I've seen just are NOT the same.

Me too! I got my first cochin last July. He was a Black frizzle bantam rooster.
This May I bought the two blue Cochins that I have pictures of above.
I absolutely love the Blues though!

They're absolutely GORGEOUS! I adore blues. I only discovered recently that Cochins also came in a frizzled variety --- hope your pair gives you a bunch of them!

Hmm LF Mottled? Not yet seen them. Only seen them in bantam, but if they are out there oh my! Love my bantams too, so sweet and funny! Very talkative girls and boys.

Whooohoo! Day 21 and I have already seen 5 adorable little babies poking out from under mama! Just waiting on 2 more. I would share a picture but BYC and my phone don't like each other today. :-(

Awesome! Hope the dynamic duo show up soon.

Thanks! They may already be there, just in hiding.
