I had some incubator issues, so I will be lucky to get 1. NOT your fault by any means! I may just need to get some more eggs from you in the future. LOL I'd be pleased as pie to get even 1 chick to hatch.
I'm new to having chickens and I think yours are so beautiful. Do your hens lay eggs everyday? I'm trying to justify getting them to my fiance but it must lay decent amount of eggs. Thanks.

Cochins are not a production bird. They are known for being great broodies & Mom's.
They are gentle, laid back & many of the roos help raise the chicks.
I have 4 Cochin roos who free range with the girls daily. There rarely is a problem & if so, it is momentary.
I don't think you could justify getting Cochins if you are mainly into egg production. But if you are into raising chicks without an incubator, Cochins are for you!
BEST OF NEWS!!!!!! Just when I thought I wouldnt even get 1 beautiful lemon blue, I have hatched out 3!!!! Well, 2 and 1/2 so far. 2 are out and one is zipping the shell as we speak!
