Bootsie, my sweet, but lady-killer of a cockerel.
His mother is my Red bantam Cochin hen Holly, and his father is our LF Buff Brahma.
He is slightly taller than my Bantam Cochin Rooster, Red.
But he is nowhere near the size of a standard Buff Brahma rooster.
Got this little cutie in a bantam mix from Tractor Supply. Guessing it’s a bantam Cochin, but the color has me wondering what it will be? I was thinking buff or white, but the little booty has some gray. Any ideas?
Hello there! I am new to chickens and recently got three bantam cochin pullets at 14-16 weeks. We built a coop out of recycled materials and are working out some of the kinks. I joined this forum to learn from other more experienced owners. I have so many questions and want to offer the best...
Hatched a turkey bantam cochin mix. A silkie cochin mix and a Easter egger Orpington mix chick. I also hatched one that I'm completely unsure what it is but pretty sure it's Orrpington mix. I'm in love! Who else loves mixing and seeing what you get?? I just do this once in a blue moon. I...

Hi!
I have 3 mottled bantam Cochin cockerels and 2 serama cockerels looking for a new home! They’re all 6 weeks old and just started living outside full time. Same old story... I would love to keep them all but I already have 2 roosters and not enough girls for all of them.

I finally found an incubator that works for me and I’m hatching some chicks from my Lemon Blue bantam Cochins. But I have a puzzle. The rooster is red brown and the hen lemon blue, but from the first clutch I hatched of 4 chicks, I have what look like two lemon splash chicks. This shouldn’t be...
When did your bantam cochins start laying? Mine is 13 weeks old with bright red comb and wattles, and she squats when I put my hand over her back. I wasn't expecting eggs anytime soon because I've heard that cochins take a long time to mature, but she appears to be ready to lay. Is it possible...
Hi everyone, I’m a new member that has been benefitting from BYC posts for months as I navigate my life as a new chicken mom. I started my flock about two and a half months ago: got seven babies and had to rehome one so far as he was definitely a roo. I may be biased but man, I don’t know if...
I acquired 4 hens a few months ago and they are a few years old. They are fairly large red sex links. Today I added 3 new 1 year old chickens. 1 roo and 2 hens. They are bantam Cochins. One of my rsl is really aggressive and is fighting the roo kind of aggressively it seems. Tonight I went to...

My bantam Cochin is laying strange eggs. She is just over 1 year old.
Her eggs have been normal until recent weeks. Now she lays a large (for her) egg with blood on it and a weird seam-like crack towards the pointy end. I can feel the crack when I run my fingernail across it.
The shell is not...
Greetings folks!
The point of this project is to make a cute and marketable bantam crossbred designer chicken. Something I can learn from, enjoy doing, and hopefully sell some to help with the feed bill.
The birds being used are a frizzle Dun Barred Cochin bantam male over Mille Fleur d'Uccle...
