Your best bet is to get some bantam cochin hens.. they will sit just as well as silke but hold up to our washinhgton weather better..

I do not live far from you and have 2 barred cochin hens that will do the trick and have a trio of cuckuu that hatched sept that will be good too(1 roo though in that trio)


The cuckoo I want $30 for group and the barred I want $15 ea since aliitle more mature I do have a young barred roo I can throw in with them 2..


Cheryl does have great birds I have some of hers her but for just using as broodies you might want to go cheaper and less show on the silkes since there crest is so big the are more prone to getting sick in our winter weathers if not proctected ..


I live in Rainier/Yelm are not far from you at all

off on sat/sun

Tracey let me know if interested



I will send you my #

That true cochins will out set silkies i have 16 silkies and none will go broody i have 6 cochins and they go broody constintly and as soon as you take the young from them they start laying again

I have a bantam Cochin now and she will not sit for anything. I let her lay 15 of her own eggs before I finally took them, in hopes of trading them out for eggs I wanted her to hatch. So, I don't know about them.

But, I guess I would be willing to try her out again. I am just disappointed she showed zero interest in sitting on eggs.

roosterrescue I will think about your offer. I am not interested in breeding bantam cochins, so no roo needed, but if I had to take one to get a broody hen, I would.
