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. Self Blue Cochin bantam chicks are solid gray with darker backs and lighter heads. They have single combs and feathered legs and feet. All the adult plumage is pale or powder blue, with the male plumage being noticeably darker than the female.

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