Mille Fleur Cochins are one I've always wanted and yet haven't ever had. Oddly enough I only have 2 Bantam Cochin girls and the Partridge pair. Strange since they're one of my favorite breeds.
Robin, I hear you on the Bantam Favs. I honestly think it's because the gene pool is too small for them, just like the LF Favs. My little Blue Salmon Fav boy is so dang pretty, but he attacks my feet every time I go in their pen. I really wish I could place him, otherwise I'll probably give him a hen from somewhere and put him in his own area. Out of the (close to) 30 roosters I have here him and my daughter's boy are the only 2 who are somewhat mean. My daughter's rooster is really bad. If he were my own instead of her's I'd put him down.
I seriously must have set these 5 Cochin/Orloff eggs late. I almost vaguely remember yet I do write every tiny thing down and can't find reference to it. Probably because I had too much chick stuff going on. I've had 3 hatch since yesterday AM. There's no way *3 of them could be 3-4 days late. Another one is wiggling around in there. Only 4 of the 29 shipped Silkie eggs hatched (6 don't count cuz I broke them). I had 9 total of my own eggs in there and so far 6 have hatched. I may not set any of the Cornish, Orloff or Brahma eggs-need to slow down anyway lol
