Baby Chicks: Mottled Cochin Bantam Female Reviews

4.9 Rating 61 Reviews
My little fellow, Falcor, is six weeks old today. He's been obviously a rooster for three...LOL I had no idea a baby would attempt to crow, and it's the funniest sound ever. The rest of my flock are full-size Cochins, and he just runs under their legs to get whatever he wants with no concern that the bigger birds could stomp him with very little effort. He's a tough little guy! He's starting to get his patterning and looks like he's going to be a beauty, though honestly, I'd love him even if he just stayed the awkward, pin-feathered teenager he is now.

If your a fan of the Silkie Bantam this breed is for you! I find them to be equally sweet and adorable as my Silkies. I am happy I decided to add this breed to my flock. I can't help but smile when I see them running around my yard....and when they are running alongside the Silkies.....does it get any cuter! This is a must have.

Cochina is my daughter's FAVORITE hen. So docile, super sweet, make the cutest little sounds, and loves to hang out out in your lap. She'll stop to take a snooze whenever and wherever. Her fluffy butt, and roundy ball of a tail is SO adorable. She's so low to the ground when she waddles around in her fluffy bedroom slippers, that I bet she's make a good swiffer. Sadly, she's at the bottom of the pecking order, so we take extra care she doesn't ever get too beat up. Decent layer of little cream eggs. She can go broody sometimes, but not as bad as our silkie.

We adore our mottled cochin! She is very sweet and loves to be held. It has been fun watching her feathers come in and they are gorgeous! She looks like she is wearing a spotted bathrobe with yoga pants and big fluffy slippers! She is one of our favorites out of our flock of about 30 birds.
