Giant Cochins - Black Mottled
Cochin chickens are incredibly large, beautiful, and exotic. Originally from China and part of the Asiatic class of chickens, they were imported to England (and the West) in the 1800s and launched a fascination with ornamental chickens. Cochins are covered with unusually soft and fluffy feathers from their heads to their toes. Incredibly, these chickens resemble a ball of feathers even when standing as even their legs and feet are fully feathered!
Cochins come in a wide variety of color patterns and exist as bantams (miniature) and large fowl birds. The black mottled feather pattern, while common in bantams, is very rare in large fowl Giant Cochins. These are Jamie Matts stock.
Cochins are widely known for their calm, friendly, and docile temperaments - often touted as the consummate “therapy” chicken. These gentle giants are slow growers and don’t reach their point of lay until 25-30 weeks. Excellent mothers and inclined to broodiness. Both heat, cold (when dry), and confinement tolerant, Cochins are a perfect California backyard chicken.
Sweetest layers of 180 large to jumbo brown eggs/year.
Chicks are ridiculously feathered down to their toes even at hatch. Babies will develop mottling as feathers come in.
