bantam cochin

Decided to broaden my search. I am looking for almost any bantam chicks now in the Seattle area. I am willing to drive out about 2-3 hours to pick up a chick or pullet. Breeds that I am really into are Bantam Orpingtons, Australorps, Cochins, Easter Eggers, and any mixes of these. Any color is...

Do Bantam Cochin cockerals/roos tend to be rapey, or more gentle with the ladies? My flock are all 6 weeks and under, but I possibly have 2 Lav Orp roos, 1 Speckled Sussex roo (super obvious at 3 weeks - will likely rehome), and a Bantam Cochin roo with 24 hens. Will my ratio be ok if I only...

Another “which roo” thread! In my flock of 17, I have 3 bantam Cochin cockerels, about 4.5 months and a slightly older olive egger roo. He was injured by a fox as at 2 months and has a funny gait- he has no issues roosting, mating or getting around, just looks weird moving, so would be more...

I'm looking to add a couple self blue/ lavender bantam cochin to my lil flock. Where is a good place to find some or does anyone sell hatching eggs or chicks? I only want a few. Cant find them locally in Central Illinois.

Hello Backyard Chickens :) You can call me boggart (the name of my first chicken, a black bantam Cochin hen) or Kaelin, my given name. I’m located in central Oklahoma and am very glad to be here! I can’t wait to make friends and learn lots of new things. Growing up I had around 25 chickens...

Hi all, I bought two straight run bantams on 4/5/19 and now that they have feathers I'm wondering if they are boys or girls. Buff Cochin bantam and Polish bantam. Also, is there a specific name for this color Polish? Thanks!

Hi all, I'm considering what breed to go with for backyard chickens. I love the lookof bantam cochins and think they may be a good choice for my family. But I'm wondering about egg production as I'm seeing a lot of conflicting info. I'd like several eggs per week but I dont want to be overrun...

Local pick up only! Clark County area only! Would anyone be interested in taking our red Bantam Cochin hen? She won't stop bullying our 3 younger hens(despite them being bigger than her) and I'm also getting tired of her escaping the yard. She won't be free though but I'll let you pay...

Our bantam cochin named Rusty #2 has escaped her yard so many times that I've now lost count. We keep adding more netting, double checking sealed holes, etc.. Nothing keeps her inside. She's spending more time inside our house than out in her yard due to her not sleeping in the coop. She's the...

help! I just can’t seem to successfully artificially inseminate my Cochins! This is my first time with AI. When I flip my rooster over and attempt to receive seamen, nothing happens! I try to stimulate but nothing happens! Anyone have any tricks or advice?!

Current eggs available are out of my 2018** pullets: Older hens have stopped for the season.** Flock is PT/AI clean - NPIP has been sent off and is pending. Accidentally let it lapse. Fertility is guaranteed. Hatching is not. Once the eggs leave my property it is up to the post office to get...

Such lovely birds at the Ohio National— anyone know of a breeder who might sell one or more of their less-than-SOP grow out birds or extra show quality birds? So in love with the breed and variety! Warm thanks for your thought!

As title suggests. I'd specifically love a mottled or blue because I truly miss the ones I had as a young teenager. Any age welcome, doesn't have to be super young. I don't have anything to trade but will pay a fair price for one. I have ten years of poultry experience and I'm just looking for...

Hi Everyone! We recently purchased the No Crow Collar for our bantam cochin rooster. I'm really hoping that it can help with the crowing to some degree, as we aren't allowed roosters where we live and he is very bonded to one of the other chickens in our flock. I'm wondering if anyone has...

i have 2 bantam cochin roosters I need to find a home for. Bought 6 straight run Cochins and 4 turned up Roos. They’re about 10 weeks old,very friendly. I will meet near Columbus Ohio. I’m in Zanesfield. Both for $10, if you’re interested I will post pics. One is white and brown and one is black...

I have three darling boys that need new homes. Six weeks old now and clearly are going to be roosters. Two of the three have been a bit slower to feather out for some reason but their feathers are about to pop now. One is calico the other two came from a blue black splash mottled pen. These...

I have several bantam Cochin that I'm trying to figure out there colors. One is a rooster the other a hen. I get splash or Columbian? I'm at a loss please help.

Hi All, I would like you to give me your opinions on my two roos, one is a splash and one is a white. I will be using both for breeding, and possibly showing the splash at some point later this year. The white has some feet problems due to poor husbandry before I acquired him so he won’t be...

My 7 1/2 week old bantam Cochin is listless and will only eat or drink if it is put directly in front of her. She not moving around and can stand up but falls over easily if touched. What might this be?

We got these from a mix Bantam run at TS. Help me figure out what we have here. Bantam Cochin? Light Brahma?
