Bantam Cochins |
We have finally started rebuilding our breeding flock of Bantam Cochins. After loosing nearly every Cochin to a family of raccoons back in the summer of 2007, I was so devistated, I felt I would never breed, show or have Cochins again. We are very pleased to have purchased a pair of blue and black Mottled from Karl Rau that has recently produced many beautiful chicks. We also purchased a lovely, young black pair that have been added to the two black hens from Karl Rau, as well as a blue splash cockerel and a blue pullet from Shari at Harvest Breeze Farm. Thanks again Shari, they are really amazing birds! Then about a year later, were also fortunate enough to purchase Karl Rau's last two available cockerels when he sold all of his Cochins. We got a blue cockerel (top left corner) and a buff cockerel, both just stunning! We are looking for a buff hen to pair with the cockerel. Finally, we have two males and a female white Bantam Cochin from Judy Gantt. Judy is a master breeder of whites and of course we are thrilled to also own some of her birds! Needless to say, those are of course amazing birds as well! I am very excited to start working with all of these wonderful lines and looking forward to the challenge of trying to maintain the quality that these breeders have worked so hard to obtain. We also have added some blue mottled and black mottled Cochins from Hattrick as well as a really cute splash frizzle roo! Thanks to all of the wonderful breeders for helping us get back on our feet with our Cochin breeding. |
Our first batch of Cochins back in 2004. These are pet quality and not at all like what we are working with now. |
