What age did your bantam cochins start laying?

[MayBerg]

At 8:34 at night

Wow, you know the date and time lol.
I bought mine pair at TSC first Thursday of April. They were already fully feathered, so I FIGURED they were already 4 weeks old . Maybe they are older or younger who knows. Now my cochin rooster is running a harem of 4 adult big girls. They let him get on them lol. I am talking BIG regular size girls.

Oh definitely. My rooster had matured a lot.

No egg from them tonight maybe ill get one in the morning. I should know the difference as they should be tiny compared to my hens eggs

Lots of egg songs and exploring where the older hens lay(which is never in the nesting box). But no eggs from these 2 yet. Top picture of one bottom two pictures of the same cochin

Very cute. Are those special cochins? I've never seen like that before. Are they a mix?

They are Birchen Bantam Cochins
I have never personally seen one, and i just so happened to go to the feed store at the right time.
I also got a standard buff cochin and standard partridge cochin.

Did you get an egg yet?

I am Investigating mine. I found a tiny egg yesterday in the nest box. But it is the same color as my big girls egg. So I don't know if it's a fairy egg or my cupcake who laid it. She has been in an out of the nesting box singing egg song. My big girl with the same color egg already laid. So if I find a tiny egg today, it's my cochin's.
