Do You Want The Cochin Chicken?

[@debbieurias5151]

I breed several colors of standard cochins, some colors have the tenancy to have tighter feathers then others such as the red lace ones are tightly featured. Just a side point. All of mine are good layers except when bloody or moltting. Maybe that is why they are considered to lay less then others but during that time they are doing a different job for you. They are the sweetest breed I've ever had in my 50 yrs of chicken keeping. If you are considering this breed you will not be sorry.

Yep. We have 10 Cochins of multiple colors. Our rooster is Doc a big Buff Cochin. They all have unique goofy personalities. Doc is an amazing guardian and a great rooster. They are comical. friendly and gentle. You do need to build your roosting bar a bit lower to the ground with a way for them to get up to it. Our roosting bar is about 3 ft high and a few straw bales give them the step-ups they need. They do like to eat. None of ours are obese but they tend to hang out around the feeders. They are hilarious to watch when they run. They will be toward the bottom of the pecking order as they are not interested in establishing themselves as the boss. Eggs are medium sized light brown eggs and you can expect 3 per week generally. Very good setters and great mothers. Love them.

I just rescued 4 pullets from a horrible living condition.. they seem easy going, love being able to free range and treats. Love them all so far!

Owwww we have three darling cochins. Pancake ,Amber and Olivia. Amber is not feeling well right now that's why I was going through your videos to see what can be the issue. Thanks for sharing your expertise

I had a Bantam Cochin rooster and he was the sweetest little guy ever. Miss him terribly. I’m planning on getting a small flock of just bantam Cochins now because of him.

[@Waytokeen]

I love my blue Cochins, super to handle and my 3 hens give us enough eggs a week to kerp us from buying at the store. Great pets.

[@deecarlock5781]

I've raised many large and bantam Cochins. The roosters are stately and beautiful. The hens are quiet and peaceful. I've always let mine out to free range a defined area and fed only in the evening after shutting in the pen, so mine never sat around by the feeders.

I have 1 cochin bantam hen and 6 cochin bantam + easter egger mixed eggs in the Incubator. .. she has the most wonderful attitude & didn't get the memo about being lazy or overweight .

[@spliffyreaps2560]

i’ve been at this for a little under a month now and i got a gold laces cochin. you are not wrong about them taking longer to develop and she tends to just hang out

[@deem163]

Fantastic info Thank You !

[@nicholascanaan8321]

I have a black Cochin Hen she’s about 2 years old an she’s awsome while in her brood she’s fostered 2 of our flock! I see her getting lazy tho always sitting down relaxing whenever she’s able.

[@Spiritdove64]

I have a bit of an issue. I was given 3 very cute feather legged cochin chics. I stated that I would like them to be hens if possible but it is hard to tell when just hatched out. Well this morning one started a silly tiny crowing sound.. My thing is I named all three already . Barbie, Amelia, and Goldie,.. Well guess what Barbie is the rooster.. :D

[@Alyssa-lz5qw]

Sometimes when you have a group of females, without access to a rooster, one of them will become the “alpha.” The crowing could be caused from a hen stepping up in place of a rooster that isn’t present :) One of my girls has done that

[@justinalephamvlogs2898]

Thanks for the info.

[@ChescoYT]

Are there black varieties that have no feathers on their legs?

[@Rosesullivan-nw4hi]

Brahma have a pea comb!

[@user-dv3od2pw3t]

I want a Cochin!!

[@mechelleh8883]

I have bantum cochin and they all look like cochin but I get green and bluish eggs from couple of hens.
Does.this mean they are not cochin?

[@a234633]

How are they in northern cold -20

[@GFORCE7630]

I have both bantam and fizzle bantam and the roosters are not nice. But I accidentally bread two frizzles and got normal chickens who are still alive after a year or two now and have been like normal chickens and never needed any care and I also bread them too. Do any of you know what happend?

[@Rosesullivan-nw4hi]

Why do you show buff brahmas?

[@evelynsalinas9872]

I have a frizzled Cochin ! & it’s being bullied a bit how can I help my baby Zapdos ⚡️??

[@felixlamban1594]

Does Cochin chicken take care of their eggs till it hatches...

[@Meahthecool1]

Yes they do! they are very good mothers too, but sometimes they do tend to ween their young off early.

[@SadBheeseChurger]
