Bobtail Cochins
Bobtail cochins are just special! I have owned this breed for over a year now and I simply cannot think of a more gentle and beautiful bird. The roosters are some of the kindest and most loving roosters I have owned. I sold a cockerel to a woman last year that wanted a rooster safe for her chicken loving daughters and she was over the moon happy with him. They made a purse that had his face on it for their daughter’s birthday because they love him so much. That says it all I think!
While they are not currently an accepted variety of bantam cochin, my daughter was too in love with them to say no to owning them and sharing them with others! We wanted to be part of the larger group showing this breed so that one day their variety might be accepted as an official variety that can win Best in Show. We will have limited availability (March - June) —since bantam cochins spend most of the laying season broody instead of laying eggs and this variety is not known to be easy to breed.
Sadly, we lost our main rooster, George, so this Spring will rely on his young sons to pick up where he left off. This means I will need to assess fertility rates in order to be sure I can fulfill orders this Spring with guaranteed fertile eggs. I am hopeful that I will be able to fulfill more orders this Spring, as I now have two cockerels and 5 pullets and 1 hen. This will ideally help when some are not feeling like laying that others will take up their slack! :)
They are just beautiful balls of fluff that love to be pampered and chatter away at us when we are slow with the treats!
Prices are for 12 eggs. I cannot guarantee the success of the eggs once they leave my home and ship to you. I do my VERY best to ship them in the most successful way possible to ensure the air cells remain intact, but shipping is very VERY hard on fertile eggs. If you are not comfortable with this risk, please do not purchase.
