Silver Penciled Cochins are more than just ornamental; they are also prolific in their own right.

The hens are exceptional mothers and exhibit broodiness, making them great for those interested in naturally hatching eggs.
Weighing around 30oz for roosters and 26oz for hens, these birds are a manageable size for any coop. Originating from Asia and belonging to the Feather Legged Bantam Class, they carry a rich heritage that adds to their appeal.
