Birchen Cochin Bantam Chicks

Purely Poultry is excited to introduce the Birchen Cochin Bantam Chicks, a breed that offers both stunning beauty and a gentle, family-friendly temperament. These bantams are a wonderful addition to any backyard flock, combining aesthetic appeal with practical benefits in a compact size that makes them easy to care for in a variety of settings.

Birchen Cochin Bantams are truly striking with their soft, fluffy feathers that extend all the way down to their legs and feet, giving them a unique and charming appearance. Their glossy black plumage is accented with elegant white markings on their necks and breasts. Females showcase delicate silver lacing on their head, neck, and chest, while males feature a more prominent silver lacing across their head, neck, and saddle, making them a beautiful and eye-catching presence in any flock.

Beyond their impressive looks, Birchen Cochin Bantams are known for their calm and friendly disposition, making them ideal pets for families, especially those with children. They are easy to handle and enjoy human interaction, creating a peaceful and enjoyable experience for backyard poultry keepers. The hens are also excellent mothers, frequently going broody and raising chicks with care, making them a great choice for those interested in natural hatching.

These bantams are not just ornamental—they are also productive layers, providing a steady supply of small brown eggs throughout the year. Their compact size, with roosters weighing about 30 ounces and hens around 26 ounces, ensures they are easy to manage and fit well into smaller coops or urban environments.

Originally from Asia, the Birchen Cochin Bantam breed has been admired for its beauty and quality for generations. Officially recognized by the American Poultry Association’s Standard of Perfection in 1977, these bantams have earned their place as a favorite in the poultry world, particularly in the Feather Legged Bantam Class at exhibitions.

At Purely Poultry, we are proud to offer Birchen Cochin Bantam Chicks to poultry enthusiasts looking for a breed that combines elegance, charm, and practicality. Whether you’re searching for a lovely show bird or a gentle companion for your family, these bantams will be a delightful addition to your flock.
