Blue Cochin Standard Chicks

Purely Poultry is delighted to introduce the Blue Cochin Standard Chicks, a breed that combines breathtaking beauty with a gentle, easygoing personality. With their soft, blue-tinged feathers and full, rounded bodies, these birds are truly a sight to behold. Originating from Asia and admired for centuries, Blue Cochins are cherished not only for their ornamental splendor but also for their calm demeanor, making them a perfect fit for families and poultry enthusiasts alike.

One of the most striking features of the Blue Cochin is its lush plumage, which gives the birds an almost regal appearance. Their blue coloring – Recognized by the APA in 1965- can range from light steel to deep slate, and when paired with their feathered legs and substantial size, they add a stately presence to any backyard or farm. Despite their impressive stature, Blue Cochins are known for their sweet, friendly temperament. They get along well with other birds and are particularly well-suited to families with children due to their calm and approachable nature.

As dual-purpose birds, Blue Cochins offer both beauty and utility. While they are primarily kept for their ornamental value, they are also productive layers, providing 110 to 160 medium to large brown eggs each year. Additionally, they are excellent mothers, often going broody and tending to their chicks with care and dedication, making them ideal for those looking to expand their flock naturally.

Adaptable to various climates, Blue Cochins thrive in colder regions, thanks to their dense feathering, which helps protect them from harsh conditions. Roosters can grow to an impressive 11 pounds, while hens typically reach around 8.5 pounds, giving them a robust presence that is both practical and visually appealing. These birds also have a long lifespan, living between 8 and 10 years with proper care, offering years of companionship and enjoyment.

When you choose Blue Cochin Standard Chicks from Purely Poultry, you are investing in a breed that brings elegance, warmth, and productivity to your flock. Whether you are drawn to their magnificent appearance or their easygoing nature, these birds are a joy to raise and will quickly become a cherished part of your backyard.

“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.”
