We live in Gadsden, AL, and are getting another batch of chicks from a private breeder to replenish our flock. And we are really looking for a Standard Cochin as a pet. I have heard that they are very friendly and loving, and I have been wanting one for quite some time, and as we are replenishing our flock, this would be a perfect time. We are looking for a private party, and not a hatchery unless they allow small orders with free shipping.
