Description:

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. Normally we estimate that 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.) ...BUT by 6 weeks old, we can determine if they have frizzle and smooth feathers. We have separated these chicks so we can offer you a 100% Frizzled Mottled Cochin Bantam!

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.

Benefits of Purchasing Pullets

  • Started pullets are an excellent option for people who don't have the time, equipment, or desire to care for chicks.
  • These juvenile chicks are sexed twice, once at hatch and again at six weeks old, which reduces your chance of ending up with roosters.
  • The minimum order is just 2 chicks!
