Mottled Cochin

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. A lustrous, greenish black base color with many of the feathers tipped in white. A color contrast that really makes it stand out in a flock.

Of all the banties these are my favorites. They are beautiful chicks, teenagers and adults. They seem to be very responsive to human interaction when handled a lot. I love the way they move about with a very definitive waddle.

Christopher, originally Christina, is now 1 1/2 years old and beautiful! He is a mottled Cochin Bantam. He rules the roost of 15 female cochin bantams and 3 big egg layers! Other roosters were mean, but Christopher protects his flock carefully as they all free range. Peter Rennie 11years old 4-H-er.
