New Cochin Chicks

We recently took some of our ducks to a Hillbilly Auction and came home with four 3-week old buff cochin chicks. I just love their pretty feet! They aren't good layers but are reputed to be excellent setters. We're hoping at least some of these are female!

So, what are they going to set ON???

Just kidding! They are adorable!
I'm rather fond of fuzzy feet myself ~ what with my Silkies and all....

Debbie Cochins are some of my favorites! They are fabulous broodies, and very pleasing to the eye.
I'm debating getting some cochins of my own this year, I don't feel like managing my incubator.

LOL Nancy! I would love to have them sit on some guinea eggs and hatch them out. The guineas can't ever seem to get the job done!

Juliann, I've heard nothing but good things about Cochins so I'm anxious to see how I like them.
