Pullet: White Cochin, Shipping Week of

The White Cochin is a vision of elegance and fluff—a walking snowball with feathers from head to toe! Originating from China and once treasured by royalty, Cochins bring old-world charm and gentle presence to any backyard flock. With their full, rounded shape and soft white plumage, they look like they’ve stepped straight out of a Victorian painting.   

But don’t let the fancy feathers fool you—these birds are sweet-natured, calm, and wonderfully cuddly. They're known for their docile temperament, making them ideal for families, first-time chicken keepers, or anyone who enjoys a little chicken companionship. Cochins move slowly, often waddling like feathered marshmallows, and are content to meander about the yard.

Though not the most prolific layers, White Cochins lay medium brown eggs at a relaxed pace and are excellent mothers if allowed to go broody. Their thick feathering keeps them cozy in cold climates, though in wet weather, their fluff can use a little extra care.
