White Cochin chickens for sale are a beautiful choice for backyard flock owners who want a large, fluffy breed with a calm personality, cold hardiness, and classic ornamental appeal. The Cochin chicken originated in China and was exported to England and America in 1845. This breed was once known as Chinese Shanghai fowl, then Cochina China, and later became known as the Cochin. Cochins were also a favorite of Queen Victoria during the 1800s.

White Cochin Standard chickens are heavy birds with soft, abundant plumage covering their bodies, legs, and feet. Hens can weigh about 8 1/2 pounds, while roosters may reach around 11 pounds. Their full feathering gives them a large, rounded appearance and makes them especially eye-catching in backyard flocks and poultry shows.

Cochins are not the strongest egg layers, but hens can produce medium-sized eggs and may continue laying during the winter months. They are also valued as a dual-purpose breed and can be used for meat, though they are slower growing than modern meat breeds.

White Cochins are cold hardy when kept in clean, dry conditions. Because of their heavily feathered feet, they should be protected from wet or muddy ground, which can lead to frostbite or foot problems in cold weather. These chickens do not fly well and usually handle confinement easily, making them a good fit for protected backyard coops and runs.

Cochins are best known for their extremely gentle temperament. They are often raised as pets, show birds, and ornamental chickens. Hens are very broody and are known for mothering almost anything, including chicks, ducklings, or turkey poults. Roosters are usually calm as well.

If you are looking for large, gentle chickens for sale, White Cochins are a wonderful way to add softness, beauty, and sweet personality to your backyard flock.
