Bantam Cochin Chickens
In 2019 we downsized to bantam cochins for pleasure. We enjoy their unique colors and friendly little personalities.
Most of our foundation breeding stock came from Anna Whybrew and Roslyn Pickens; thanks ladies!

About Bantam Cochin Chickens:
Here are a photos of some of our 6-8 week old chicks; they'll change a lot yet in both color and body:
- Bantam (miniature) size - (1.5-2lbs)
- Friendly and calm
- Make good pets
- Reasonably cold hardy (combs can frostbite easily if kept in damp or drafty winter housing)
- Readily broody
- Good mothers
- Average layers of small, cream-colored eggs
- We have calico/mille fleur and blue calico/mille fleur colors, as well as frizzle feather genetics in our flock
- Correct mille fleur color is a brown base, black chevron and white tip throughout the body
- Calico is a nickname used for mille fleur birds with excessive/incorrect white - while not an official color variety, the birds are striking
