“I‚Äôve had this girl for almost 2 years now. She lays a medium brown, somewhat small egg, and has always been one of my best layers. She is my least friendly chicken but I still love her. She dislikes me immensely. Very opposite of how I was told a Cochin personality would be. She is at the bottom of the pecking order, even below my beloved Speckled Sussex. That being said, she is the most incredible mama! I was afraid she would raise her babies to dislike me, but she did not. She let them know that they were to go to me for treats. All the babies hatched under her turned out to be some of the sweetest girls I have. She went broody at one year old, and was never in the least bit mean to me when I stuck my hand under her. She is extremely gentle, just very shy. That behavior was noted in her from the day she arrived.”
“I was so excited to get the partridge cochins and after 3 days they started getting sticky butt and eventually after the 3rd day they passed that was the only reason for my order. I watched over them so carefully and they still died. Couldn't get rid of the nasty pasty butt. 1 frizzle died and also one of the Buckeyes they were all patsy butts”

“We chose to add a male partridge Cochin into our batch of girls, because owning a rooster had been so fun before, until he started to become aggressive..so I did some research and found this is supposed to be a very sweet breed! When we opened our package I was very happy to see his cute feathery feet, and that he‚Äôd arrived safely and healthy. Then realized there was two! Luckily we have the room to keep both! Ones more of a charcoal color with blueish fuzz along his sides/wings and an orange brown ring around his neck and a cream chest and wingtips. The others a lighter chestnut color with dark brown around his beak/eyes and back, and a cream chest and wingtips. Can‚Äôt wait to see them feather out, and I hope there‚Äôll turn out to be friendly roosters!”
“These girls are just beautiful and soft and cuddly. They follow us around and want to be picked up. Willow has a sweet curious personality and she has had some serious lap time. Thumper got her name when she was a new chick. She used to swing on the thermometer string making a thumping noise when she tapped the side of the chick pen. She still likes to use the MPC swing in the run and she is a lap chick too. We also have Lily and Daisy our white Cochin girls and they are doll babies too. We are getting more Cochin's for sure in blue and silver.”
“We got one of these in a rare breed assortment. She has become my favorite chicken because of her sweet, docile personality and her fun look. Cochins are one of the sweetest, friendliest breeds to own.”
“My two Cochin hens Lizzy and Jelly are absolutely endearing! They have such a pretty plumage and love being held! They have a big appetite each day and are very curious birds!”
“My partridge Cochin hen is so pretty. She filled out wonderfully and her feathers are so pretty and shine green in the sun. She started laying small brown eggs at 34 weeks. She is the last to start laying in my flock of six. Downside is she doesn‚Äôt have the Cochin personality I read so much about. I didn‚Äôt need another brown layer but really wanted a friendly lap chicken so I ordered her. She seems annoyed all the time. She is always grumbling and very standoffish. She is also at the bottom of the pecking order and I often have to feed her away from the other because she doesn‚Äôt stick up for herself. I know every chicken is different but I‚Äôm not impressed with this late layer who wants nothing to do with me. Good thing she‚Äôs pretty!”
