White Cochin Standard Chicks

Introducing the lovely White Cochin Standard Chicks from Purely Poultry, a breed that combines elegance, gentle nature, and a fascinating history. Originally developed in China’s Shanghai province in the 1840s and recognized by the APA in 1874! These magnificent birds became famous during the 19th-century “Hen Fever,” when people in the United States and England eagerly sought out beautiful and unique chicken breeds. Over time, the White Cochin was further refined, and today, it stands as a globally admired breed, known for its impressive size and luxurious plumage. 

With their soft, snow-white feathers and abundant fluff, White Cochins are a striking addition to any flock. These chickens are more than just a visual delight—they are incredibly calm, friendly, and easy to handle. Their sweet nature makes them a perfect choice for families, especially those with children, and they are wonderful for both experienced poultry keepers and beginners alike. The laid-back temperament of the White Cochin allows them to get along well with other chickens, creating a peaceful environment in your backyard.

While they are often admired for their ornamental appeal, White Cochins are also known for their broody instincts, making them excellent mothers. If you’re interested in natural hatching, this breed is a fantastic choice, as the hens are nurturing and attentive to their chicks. In terms of egg production, White Cochins lay around 110-160 medium to large brown eggs annually, providing a reliable supply while also enhancing the beauty of your flock.

White Cochins are robust and well-adapted to colder climates, thanks to their dense feathering, which offers extra insulation during winter months. However, it’s important to keep their living space dry, as their feathered feet can be prone to frostbite if exposed to damp, cold conditions. With roosters weighing in at approximately 11 pounds and hens at 8.5 pounds, these birds have a commanding presence while maintaining their friendly demeanor.

Choosing White Cochin Standard Chicks from Purely Poultry means adding a timeless breed to your flock that offers both beauty and practicality. Whether you’re drawn to their striking appearance or their reputation as excellent brooders, these chickens are sure to bring joy, warmth, and charm to your home.
