Description:

My Pet Chicken is excited to offer Mottled Frizzle Cochin Bantam baby chicks for sale! Cochins are known worldwide for being friendly balls of fluff and feathers. They don't lay very well but are very popular because of their sweet personality and fantastic mothering qualities.

But these aren't just any Cochins: they're bantam, mottled, and frizzled. (Well, 50% of hatchlings will be frizzled... Long story, but you can't breed a frizzled bird to a frizzled bird, or you end up with big problems, so we breed frizzled roosters to smooth-feathered hens, which produces a 50% rate of frizzling in offspring.)

Frizzled Cochins are a good choice if you are concerned about your birds flying over fences, since their unusual feathers make flying any distance difficult. Even better, their quirky look won't fail to get the attention—and maybe incite the jealousy—of your neighbors. Like Silkies, Frizzles are favorites of children and all others who are young at heart.

Cochins do go broody, by the way... They make great mothers, but when they're broody, they don't lay.

Frizzle Feather Fairness Policy

Only about 50% of chicks from a frizzle pairing will develop frizzled feathers. To ensure bird health, we breed frizzled roosters with smooth-feathered hens, which means we cannot guarantee frizzling. If you order a frizzled chick and it feathers out smooth instead, we want to make it right.

If a chick sold as “Frizzled” grows in smooth feathers, we’ll refund the price difference between frizzled and smooth versions at the time of purchase as My Pet Chicken store credit.  Read more information here.
