The Beautiful Bantam Cochin!

[Gammas Bearded Babies]

A few months ago I ordered 8 "show quality black Cochin bantam eggs' (they even had a picture they had won grand at their county fair and they looked pretty nice) well they arrived on their side in a flimsy box from staples and a few pieces of bubble wrap around each egg with this don't x ray written in pencil so 2 hatched one was black and had it's brain sticking out of it's head (what I was told by some byc people) the other one hatched and remember how they were described as black she was like a lavender color but luckily had no brain you could see just some bent toes lol she grew so slow like is still only about as big as my hand and I think she's done growing for the most part . And her feathers were kinda weird like I thought she was silkied until recently she finally has real feathers growing in so I think china is just slow feathers rn @Gammas Bearded Babies

Oh my goodness! That sounds awful!
Yeah China is very petite next to Coco...she hates to be left alone. So if Coco isn't in eyesight she cries pitifully and comes running under me!
She's a sweetie!

I thought you had bantam cochins I just couldn't remember! They are all so stinkin adorable!!! I'm so glad you got some of your own babies to go with the lil one that hatched!

Thank you!! I am too, it has been a rough summer so some new babies from my hardy surviving chickens is helping a little with the sadness! Thanks again for recommending the thread

I don't think I could get a video, plus I do not have a platform to load it to, but I will take before and afters if you want! It's pretty simple honestly. I am thinking of making an article. Should I?

Oh no! I love showing my birds. One of my black hens has won Best Bantam Hen and my black rooster has won Best Bantam Rooster and Grand Champion.
