Cochin bantams first appeared in England around 1860. It was first considered that they had been bred down from large Cochins, but that is not the case as the foundation birds were brought from China by returning soldiers. Mottle Cochin bantam chicks have black on the top of their head and back while the heads, wings, chests, abdomens, legs and feet are light yellow or white. They have single combs and feathered legs and feet. The adult plumage is primarily greenish black with some of the feathers having a white V-shaped tip.

Our bantams are purebred and represent the breed and variety; however, we do not guarantee or represent that they are of show quality.
