Was rather fancying some new chucks, i have some pekins and was rather liking the look of cochins, black and buff, my two fav colours of chucks 
Anybody had/have any of these beauties? Any info eg. broodyness, fertility, egg laying  anything else not sure on LF or banties, got enough room for LF but do like my banties 
Thanks Danielle

I have had a few cochins, with mixed success. I have a brilliant black cockerel, Homer, who is our favourite, and very friendly. However, i have struggled with cochin girls, as they seem to struggle in the wet, muddy conditions which prevail here for most of the year.they are magnificant birds, with what we call baggytrouser legs, and seem to float around the place. not brilliant at egg laying, but certainly jolly the place up a bit.
