Cochins

Cochins are known for their excellent mothering abilities and gentle nature. They lay 4-5 light brown eggs weekly and come in various colors, including White, Blue, Mottled, and Partridge. Accepted by the APA in 1874, Cochins are celebrated for their broodiness, making them ideal for sustainable flocks. Their fluffy feathering provides excellent cold tolerance. Perfect for family farms and children, Cochins are a delightful addition to any flock. Learn more in our Breed Spotlight: The Cochin Chicken on our blog.
