Valley Hatchery is delighted to present the White Cochin Bantam Chicks, a breed that is as charming in appearance as it is in temperament. These delightful birds, with their fluffy white feathers, offer an irresistible combination of beauty and gentleness, making them an excellent choice for families, particularly those with children.
These miniature marvels are the perfect fit for backyard coops, embodying the elegance and stature of the Standard Cochin in a more compact form. The hens are renowned not just for their stunning looks but also for their nurturing instincts, often going broody and proving to be excellent mothers. This makes them not only a pleasure to watch but also a practical addition for those interested in hatching and raising chicks.
In addition to being a joy for families, White Cochin Bantams are a hit in the exhibition circuit. Their docile nature, coupled with their striking appearance, makes them a favorite among show birds. These bantams lay a fair number of small brown eggs, with an annual production of approximately 150-200 eggs, adding to their appeal for backyard chicken enthusiasts.
The breed’s history is as rich as its appearance. Originating from Asia, these chickens were recognized by the American Poultry Association’s Standard of Perfection way back in 1874, a testament to their enduring appeal and quality.
Valley Hatchery is proud to offer these exquisite White Cochin Bantam Chicks. They’re more than just chickens; they’re a blend of fluffy beauty, gentle temperament, and historical significance. Perfect for both show rings and cozy backyards, these bantams are sure to bring joy and elegance to your poultry experience.
