Black Cochin Bantams

Availability

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. 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 legged bantams and one of our best setters. The coal black plumage with the greenish sheen really sets these birds apart from the others. A bright red comb and wattle makes a beautiful contrast with the black feathers. A variety that has been shown for over 120 years in this country.

These babies are so sweet and mild mannered. I have been more than pleased with ALL my babies I have received. My son is 3 years old and this is his favorite. I will soon order again!
