Blue splash cochins. The most broodiest hens ever.Blackbird said:Awww!
What kind are those blue/gray hens, Dammumis?
I remember once we had a hen hatch out a bunch of chicks and the same day, one of our cats, Ring, had kittens just inches away.. She left the chickies alone!
Oh my, that must have been a great place to brood babies.Blackbird said:Ok.. I just found a photo of what I was talking about.. I guess we had too many roosters at the time... Poor Buffy sure looks beat up (Probably don't want to use this for your project.. wish she was looking better, it was about 7 years ago).
No, they are full size. One did hatch d'uccles though.Farmfresh said:Your cochins look bantam sized. Am I right?
I truly LOVE cochins. That is what I used to raise and show primarily as a kid.
I had whites, reds, mottled, blacks, and buffs.
Cochins will be my little old lady birds. (when I have enough space) I will raise them in my old age to just sit and pet and watch them adorn my lawn.
I get WAY too attached to them to keep them as regular poultry.
