Pekin/Cochin Bantams

[HorseFeatherz NV]

Here is the website for the Cochin club - http://cochinsinternational.cochinsrule.com/


I would recommend joining - I plan on it. You can find members on the site with stock for sale. They also give you a brief bit about the standard - both large and bantam. Another thing to do is purchase the APA standard book.

American Poultry Association: http://www.amerpoultryassn.com/


Another thing to do, is search the cochin thread in this section and introduce yourself - you might find someone close to you with birds breed to standard.

I am getting some chicks in March 2011 (LF) and would want to get some young Cochins then also. I don't want to hatch and I am hoping to get birds that are not too far for transport. I have emailed one in Ohio and another in the New England area and now I will just wait to see if I get a reply

The Cochin breeders directory seems to have lots of people out your way and the ones that were the closest don't seem to have the colors I am looking for.

Perhaps you could attend a Poultry Show near you to make contact with some cochin breeders.

The Northeastern Poultry Congress is coming up in January in Springfield, MA

He looks handsome! What is the name of the colour of this one?

Hi should you stop turning pekin bantams earlier then day 18? I am hatching them for the first time and am on day 6 finding it hard to get much information on them. Help is appreciated thanks

Here's our pekin bantam roo

So sweet natured and has a very minimal crow....more like a little squeak!
Does anyone know what colour he is?...he was meant to be from silver parents but looks very dark...someone said he could be melanistic but i'm thinking a very dark silver laced?
Thanks!

Did any of y'alls have a point where they had vulture hocks?
