Cochins have been my passion for many years, and I have greatly enjoyed both breeding them and showing them. The lines I work with go back many generations in the hands of Master Breeders who also showed them. In recent years I have focused primarily on breeding and conservation of these top American lines and offer them to fellow breeders and exhibitors who would like to work with them. Because the chicks I offer are only out of top matings they are limited quantity and only available for a short time each spring. After a few years of building stock I am pleased that I will be able to offer large fowl Partridge Cochins on my website for the first time.  I am currently offering large Cochins in Black, Buff, White, Partridge, and Blue and am proud of the many awards our customers have won with these birds in recent years – including Champion and Reserve Champion awards at National breed club meets. I do not keep a waitlist. Chicks are generally shipped in the order payment is received, once they become available and weather permits. Blue is always in high demand and as I don’t have a lot of brood stock in Blue for 2021 any orders for Blue will also include Black and/or Splash.

I began offering started chicks in 2019 as an alternative to adult birds after a series of USPS rate increases made shipping large birds more cost prohibitive. This is a rare opportunity to purchase started chicks from my top, cutting-edge matings from proven lines that have been handed down by generations of Master Breeders. Chicks offer an opportunity for the buyer to select from a larger number of birds for their breeding and show programs. While I can’t guarantee they’ll all be show winners – you’ll be working with my best genetics and have the same opportunity to raise a show champion from them as I do. Each shipment will include an extra chick. Groups of mixed-color chicks (breeder’s choice)  are easier to fill and so may be filled sooner. Chicks are approximately three weeks at time of shipping and are straight-run. I am offering chicks in groups of 8 and 12 – large quantities may be available upon request.
