How do Cochins do in the heat? It’s so hot where I live. I would love to have some but worried my heat would be too much for them

Not well at all if you don’t have time to monitor them. We live in a very hot city 100+ degree are fairly regular here. We have a misting system set up to keep them cool

Thanks. I’m always monitoring them in this heat and I have a misting system too for the heat, lots of shade and wading trays of water. My chickens do fine but wasn’t sure about the heavily feathered feet birds

You would be fine then

My cochins are doing ok in 90 degree weather with water, shade and misting 2 times a day.

LF
Rhode Island Red cockerel
color: mahogany
Age: 5 months

This is Red. Purchased as a pullet, but knew within 3 weeks that we were going to have a rooster. He is textbook RIR in personality, and seeing he is as large as he is at 5 months, we expect him to top out their size range. His best personality trait: makes sure his girls are fed and that they always know where snacks are. He also watches over them while they lay and has been spotted testing out their nesting box


Please excuse my yard. We live in coastal central florida and its just all sand and these fools want my yard to look like the surface of the moon

Welcome to BYC!
He is pretty.

Thank you! Im a regular on the fb group and a long time lurker. I call him my big, beautiful boy. Probably why he only lets my husband pick him up
