More about Cochin Chickens
Character & features
The Cochin’s generous feathering is a central exhibition feature. Its rounded appearance and abundant fluff should be considered alongside the bird’s actual adult build when choosing fittings and flock companions.
Match the birds to your purpose: a laying flock, an ornamental group or a planned breeding setup. Talk to us about the particular birds if temperament or handling is important to you.
Suitability & care
Dry bedding and well-drained ground make feather care easier. Check that housing entrances and low, comfortable perches suit the birds' mature build.
Plan a flock around adult size, space and the balance of hens and cockerels. Have shelter, feed and fresh water ready before the birds arrive. Our chicken house and run guide helps you prepare the setup.
Breed background
The Cochin developed from Chinese birds brought to Britain in the nineteenth century, with later selection placing strong emphasis on exhibition feathering.
