Any thoughts on them, or oppinions? I just ordered some on ebay, 12+

Hatchery Quality ones - Eh. They're like any other "silver laced" fluffy, round breed. . . not fluffy, not round, and certainly not "laced."

Good quality ones - Quite pretty, but I'm not a huge Cochin fan. They're very docile and broody though.

I'm with Illia on hatchery quality...but I do love those huge fluffy birds

Mine arent comming from a hatchery.

I hadn't ever seen them, happyhens, so I googled them.
They're really pretty and I bet you'll be happy with them.

Well, I'll just like to throw out a little bit of caution - eBay is filled with people who breed hatchery stock and sell it as if it is special. But, I'm sure the birds you get will be lovely and beautiful!

Thanks, I guess then might have hatchery stock...

But Ive never had problems with hatchery, I dont know if my 1 year olds came from a hatchery? I got them from a feed store. Which could have got them from anywhere/
