“It took a while to figure which one was our cochin. Shes a bit skidish barely getting her feathers now. We named her Socks. Had pastry butt for awhile but was able to treat it. We love her feathers that are coming in now.”
“You want a cold hardy, hefty, human friendly bird that doesn't skip out on beauty? This is your bird. I bought my girl seven years ago with a bunch of other hens and never regretted for an instant. She's top of the pecking order in my flock, but doesn't tousle with the other girls too badly. My only complaint was that when she was around two or three she got really broody for a whole six months. From research I know Cochins are pretty prone to this, so they make great moms, its just not what I was looking for.”
