Birchen Cochin Bantam Chicks

Valley Hatchery is thrilled to introduce the Birchen Cochin Bantam Chicks, a delightful breed that combines the best of both worlds – ornamental appeal and family-friendly temperament. These miniature chickens are a fantastic choice for backyard coops, offering a perfect blend of beauty and practicality.

Birchen Cochin Bantams are distinguished by their captivating appearance. They boast a fluffy, feathered look that extends down to their legs and feet, creating an almost whimsical appearance. The color variety of these bantams is particularly striking. They predominantly display a lustrous black plumage, accented with elegant white markings on their necks and breasts, intricately laced with narrow lines of black. The females exhibit silver lacing in their head, neck, and chest, while males feature the same beautiful lacing across their head, neck, chest, hackles, and saddle.

These bantams are not just about looks; they have a sweet and docile nature, making them perfect pets, especially for families with children. Known for their excellent maternal instincts, the hens are great broody hens, eagerly taking on the role of hatching and raising chicks. For exhibition enthusiasts, Birchen Cochin Bantams are a standout choice, known for their calm demeanor and impressive presence in the Feather Legged Bantam Class.

Their egg-laying capability adds to their appeal, with a fair production of small brown eggs. The roosters and hens are conveniently sized at around 30oz and 26oz respectively, fitting comfortably into various coop settings.

Originating from Asia, this breed has been celebrated in the poultry world for decades and was recognized by the American Poultry Association’s Standard of Perfection in 1977. This acknowledgment underscores their status as a breed of both beauty and quality.

At Valley Hatchery, we are proud to offer the Birchen Cochin Bantam Chicks, a breed that promises to bring joy, elegance, and a touch of the exotic to your backyard. Ideal for both poultry exhibitions and as charming family companions, these bantams are sure to be a delightful addition to your flock.
