Barred Cochin Standard Chicken

When it comes to rare breed chickens, the professionals at Hatchery® have a lot to offer. We have more than 200 breeds to choose from, including the Barred Cochin Standard. This bird is one of the many color types of Cochins that we have available and it is notable for several reasons. This is a very large chicken with a lot of unique feathering and feathered legs. This chicken is also great around children, making it a perfect pet for the family farm. This is a very hard color to find of the standard cochin with very few breeders in the USA. We further improved our flock by adding some of Roland Doerr bloodline into our flock in 2009. Make a great show and exhibition type chicken. You can place your order today or you can call us for more information.
