Golden Laced Cochin Standard Chicken

If you have been looking for a visually striking and docile chicken to have on your property, the team at Hatchery® is here to help. The Golden Laced Cochin Standard is a beautiful feather legged bird that is large, soft and has a friendly temperament. You can expect these chickens to lay either small or medium sized eggs, so do not be fooled by the size of the bird itself. It also has feathered legs.  This is a very hard to find color of the standard cochin and there are very few breeders in the USA. Hatchery added some new bloodlines to their flock from Roland Doerr in 2009 to maintain the size of this beautiful chicken.
