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. Red Cochin bantam chicks are primarily red with white on the wing tips, chest and abdomen. They have single combs and feathered legs and feet. The adult plumage is entirely red, with the males having more gloss than the females on the head, neck, back, saddle and wing bows.

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