The Cochin, formerly known as Cochin-China, is a large and feathery domestic chicken breed. It descended from large feathery chickens brought from China to Europe and North America in the mid-1800s. It is raised now mostly for exhibition.
This chicken breed started the popularity of poultry-breeding in western countries.
This chicken breed comes in many colour varieties that include buff, black, partridge, blue, silver laced, splash, golden laced, and white.
Their feathered feet and shanks sometimes result in muddy dirty feathers after it rains. Their feathers are loose and puffy – they have so many feathers that it looks like there is no gap between their legs.
The Cochin can lay 150 to 180 medium-sized brown eggs per year.
The Cochin can lay eggs in winter. They are gentle, friendly, quiet and docile. The hens are good sitters and good mothers, and can be used to hatch the eggs of ducks and turkeys. Cochin chicken meat tends to be coarse in texture and dark.
