I have two lovely year old hens. They are first generation girls from some lovely stock I purchased a couple years back from Joe Mazur. Unfortunately I have to rethink my future plans for breeding and cut down on my numbers of breeds due to a hand injury that will probably take about half a year to heal. With many tears and heartache I need to find some serious breeder homes for some of the unique breeds I have accumulated and love.
If I were to continue breeding black Cochin, I would use hen A. She is large and round and heavy. She has a lovely, wise, deep head. Her feet are fully feathered and her disposition is lovely. Right now she is raising a clutch of little ones but she should be ready to go by the Millet sale. She is $60
Hen B is smaller than A. I am asking $30 for her.
I will also have mixed black chicks from both hens at the sale for $10 and some chicks that are 3/4 Cochin and 1/4 light Brahma for $5. There are some pure Cochin amongst the crosses. You might think of it as a lucky dip!
