**STANDARD Cochin Thread for Posting Pics and Discussing Them**

[VMike]

We love our Cochins! We have 4 adults,that are about a year old and six young ones that are a little over 4 months that we are trying to integrate with the adults. They don't roost together yet but the adults finally let them forage around the yard with them.This took a few weeks. We also have 11 babies that are 5 weeks and two that are 2 weeks old I'll have to get some pics of. All are Cochins of course.

Here are a few pics.

Hi... hope Standard Cochin peeps are still out there...

I just got my first standard Cochin Rooster.. he is just 7 weeks, his father was absolutely gorgeous so I got one of his sons that was marked the most like dad.. he has a gold head and wht and barred back and tail feathers.. I would love to know if there is anyone in SC, NC, GA area that has Gold standard girls.. I would like to keep them in the gold color range and I am so taken by them, that I want to get him 3 or 4 girls..
,
I would also LOVE to hear more about this breed. so many people have the bantams,, but I really like big birds.. and want to learn more about this breed.. .. I plan on giving him to my mom when he is an adult.. right now we are fighting field rat problem at her house.. I want him to be big enough not only to fend for himself and his girls but kill a rat if need be.. by his father I do not see that this is going to be a problem.

blessed be )O(

I am trying to post the address for the pics that Mandy/ theCochincoop took at Crossroads this past weekend. There are several pics of stunning Standards in the group.
Yeah, it worked.
Thank you again Mandy for sharing the pictures with those of us that couldn't make it to the show.
