Blue Cochin Bantam Chicks

Purely Poultry is delighted to offer the beautiful Blue Cochin Bantam Chicks, a breed that combines elegance and practicality in the most charming way. These lovely bantams are known for their soft, fluffy feathers in a serene blue-grey color that often has darker, smoky lacing, making them stand out in any backyard or poultry show. Their graceful appearance has made them a favorite among poultry enthusiasts, and they have been recognized by the American Poultry Association’s Standard of Perfection since 1977.

Blue Cochin Bantams are not only admired for their beauty but also for their gentle, calm temperament. They are perfect companions for families, especially those with children, as they thrive in smaller spaces and are easy to manage. Their laid-back nature makes them ideal for backyard coops, where their friendly presence adds a calming atmosphere. In addition to their docile nature, Blue Cochin Bantams are excellent mothers. They have a strong tendency to go broody and are known for their nurturing instincts, making them wonderful caregivers for their chicks.

These bantams are also productive layers, providing a steady supply of small brown eggs, adding to their utility in any flock. One fascinating aspect of breeding Blue Cochin Bantams is the variety of color outcomes. While approximately half of the chicks will have the iconic blue coloring, others may hatch in black or even splash, a pale blue or white with darker splashes. This diversity makes every hatch an exciting experience, offering a delightful mix of colors in your flock.

Weighing in at about 30 ounces for roosters and 26 ounces for hens, Blue Cochin Bantams are compact and easy to care for. Their manageable size and friendly nature make them an excellent choice for poultry keepers of all levels. Whether you’re looking to add a beautiful show bird to your collection or seeking a gentle pet for your family, these bantams are sure to charm with their serene elegance and warm personalities.

At Purely Poultry, we take great pride in offering the Blue Cochin Bantam Chicks and know they will bring both beauty and joy to your flock. Explore more of our delightful breeds and find the perfect additions to your backyard today!

“Breeding Blue Disclaimer: When breeding blue chickens, genetics play a unique role in color outcomes. Breeding two blue chickens typically results in 50% blue offspring, 25% splash (lighter, spotted plumage), and 25% black. This predictable color variation is a natural part of blue chicken genetics, so keep in mind that not all chicks from blue parents will be blue.”
