QUESTION......

[kaylee's poultry place]

I am a little confused about all these chicken words. Can you please comment about these wacky words that I don't know. For Example....... Cochin is it a rooster or breed?

 

[sourland]

'Cochin' is a breed. They come in both bantam and large fowl and a variety of colors. They are feather footed broody machines.

'Cockerel' is a young male chicken - generally less than a year old. Roos hop along on their hind legs and are generally found in Australia.
