Bantam Cochins arriving on
May 11th!
Bantam Cochins:
Soldiers, returning from China, brought the first Cochin bantams to England in the 1860's. They were known as 'Pekin" bantams then and are still referred to as "Pekins" in many parts of Europe today. Cochins are heavily feathered down the shanks and toes and appear to be much larger than they actually are. They are very gentle, excellent setters, require little space, and with their many color varieties are absolutely beautiful to look at. Cochins are the most popular of the feather footed legged bantams
Frizzle bantam Cochins:
Now this is truly a unique bird! Unlike all other chickens, the feathers on the frizzle curve outward and forward giving it the appearance of having walked through a wind storm backwards. These come in red, black, and white colors and show the other characteristics of the cochin.
PLEASE NOTE: The frizzle feathering of these unique birds does not show as baby chicks. Because the frizzle trait does not breed true, approximately one fourth of your baby frizzle chicks will develop normal feathering and the others will be frizzled.
Limited Supply.
