I wish there was an inexpensive way to ship birds.
They are cute. This is Ideal Poultry's description of Blue Cochins. I was with them until "Poor producers of med size brown eggs" . I don't have the space for poor producers.
Blue Cochins have beautiful plumage color which is the result of heterozygous laced blue color, which does not breed true. If black birds are mated with splash birds, all blue offsprings are produced. Their striking appearance is due to their great size and abundance of soft, loose plumage that distinguishes them from every other breed and gives them an appearance of being much heavier than they actually are. Cochins are relatively poor producers of medium size brown eggs, but because they are the most docile of all breeds are an excellent choice for pets.
they are used as broodies alot like silkies!
