I kept golden laced and cuckoo bantam cochin 1 lb 10 ounce hens. I am really excited to breed my 2 lb 7 ounce red partridge solid feathered satin silkie rooster with the cuckoo cochins to produce male sex linked crele chicks. I rarily see crele, so will create some from these little cuties from cackle hatchery stock. Actually, APA award winning cuckoo silkies started from cuckoo bantam cochin and black silkie satin mixes backbred to silkies for multiple generations.

Hardy with a variety of colors that with proper care should not only thrive but will be show quality. Definitely worth buying cochins from Cackle Hatchery.

Sweetest little chickens
I received 5 Bantam Cochins, all mixed color – straight run. There ended up being 2 roosters. One black (Licorice) and one dark (Molasses) – just gorgeous. The others were 2 light tan and one white (Sugar). The light tan hen (Honey) is the sweetest hen I have ever owned. She comes running over and wants to sit in your lap. My kids favorite chicken. Highly recommend this breed.

Cute and friendly
I ordered 5 and was sent 6! 2 Black, 2 Silver Pencil, 1 buff and 1 red. We are very pleased with them. They’re perfect for little kids as they are docile and easy to hold. They look and feel like balls of fluff. =) they are not the greatest egg layers, but not many batter are.

the best breed for me
My beloved grandma insisted that cochin bantams were the best. 30 years later, I agree. Have kept this breed since 2010. This batch was great! Smart, not needy. Good foragers.

All great
I received the cochin bantam special and am extremely pleased with them. They all came in healthy, I haven’t lost any of them. They are a very good selection of the different breeds and colors. Couldn’t be happier.

Love my little flock
I ordered the Chochin Bantam special. I wanted a variety and was nervous for what I would get. I ended up getting half roosters half hens and a great variety of colors. They were all alive and healthy when they arrived. This is my first time with the breed and I love their size and temperament. I’m so happy with my little flock. Thanks Cackle Hatchery.
