The Beautiful Bantam Cochin!

[kurby22]

They are gonna be so pretty though!!!
How do you know they have the wrong tail shape? How old are they?

Yeah they will be Molly has straight tail feathers that stick out beyond her ball of feathers around her butt…I was wondering if she might lose them after her first hard molt. We will see. And the rooster is similar with his tail. The Brad Pack is about a year and 3 months old and they are molting hard.

Your Cochins are beautiful!! I reallllly want a true high quality bantam Cochin There’s such a notable difference between yours and my cute backyard pet quality Cochins! Sweet Pea and Willow are my favorites! I love their shape and coloring.

As for the Orp, I’d put money on cockerel. By now you might be able to dig around in the saddle area and see some coming in…they should come in all shiny orange. Orp boys take FOREVER to mature. This was my boy at 15 weeks ish…

Those aren't the greatest quality honestly. I'm trying to find some show-quality Cochin Bantams. Nobody wants to sell any hens, obviously! Willow is one of my favorites though. I love the splash color. I do plan on selling eggs on ebay, so maybe you could order some from me!

Nope. Only Black, Blue and Splash. I have my original Black Cochin Bantams in a group, so I can get pure black, or I have the breeding coop. If I sell them, I will need someone to test my packaging...
