Buff Cochin Standard Chicken

At Hatchery® we strive to give our customers a wide range of options when it comes to our poultry breeds. That is why we offer several different types of standard size Cochin, including the Buff Cochin Standard. Some of the first things you may notice about this chicken are its size, feathering as well as feathered legs, but you will also be happy to know that it is very docile. Not only will it behave well around your children, but it will excel at raising chicks and will easily go broody. We improved our Hatchery flock by adding some bloodline from Roland Doerr in 2009. This helped maintain their size and vigor, They are an excellent choice for a show or exhibition type. We also offer the miniature version of this bird. You can place your order online today and please contact Hatchery® if you would like any additional details!
