Splash Cochin Standard Chicken

The professionals at Hatchery® have been offering more than two hundred different types of poultry breeds for decades and we are proud to introduce the Splash Cochin Standard. This bird is feather legged and has fluffy grey feathers with spots of black. It is overall an extremely docile chicken. Although these chickens can become very large, they typically lay small/medium eggs. You can expect the Splash Cochin Standard to behave well around children. All of our Cochins make great hens for raising chicks.  To maintain the size, color and health of this Hatchery flock we infused some Blue/Black bloodline from Roland Doerr in 2009. Splash color is made from breeding blues together in a mating about 1/3 of the offspring will be a splash. You can also breed splash to splash but over time they become too light.
