White Cochin Bantams
Bred from John Beauchamp lines and part of our program since 2023, our White Cochin Bantams are gentle, fluffy show birds with the steady, people-oriented temperament Cochins are famous for—perfect for first-time breeders and youth exhibitors. Drawing on 14 years of poultry experience (and nearly six focused on Cochins), we select for classic round Cochin type, dense foot feathering, and clean, even white plumage that presents beautifully in the show coop. These birds are calm, easy to handle, and quick to settle on the hand or in a cage, which makes showmanship practice low-stress for 4-H and FFA members. Our breeding pens emphasize vigor, sound structure, correct carriage, and standard weight, giving new breeders a confident start with birds that are both competitive and friendly to keep. We offer started chicks at 3–4 weeks old, giving families a sturdier, easier-to-handle beginning than day-olds while feathering is well underway.
Quick facts (standard & variety):
Class: Feather-Legged Bantam; Variety: White — recognized by both APA & ABA.
Standard weights (ABA): Cock 30 oz, Hen 26 oz, Cockerel 26 oz, Pullet 24 oz.
Type details: Single comb; red face, wattles, and earlobes; heavy foot and shank feathering over yellow skin/soles. (Bare middle/outer toe or lack of yellow on foot bottoms is a disqualification.)
Production & personality:
Eggs: Small/tinted brown; typically ~150 eggs/year under good management (Cochins are a “fair” layer overall).
Broodiness: Excellent natural mothers; known to go broody readily.
Temperament: Exceptionally docile and easy to handle—ideal for showmanship and youth projects.
Care notes for new breeders & youth:
Dry, clean bedding helps maintain the signature “booted” look.
Cochins mature on the slower side; pullets commonly begin laying around 5–6 months.
What you’ll see in our pen:
Compact, rounded bodies with abundant fluff; smooth, bright white plumage and calm birds that pose naturally—everything you want in a competitive junior project bird. Our ongoing selection emphasizes correct weight, foot feather density, carriage, and easy handling for new exhibitors and breeders.
