Description:
New Breed for 2024!
My Pet Chicken is excited to offer Mottled Frizzle Cochin Bantam baby chicks for sale! Cochins are known worldwide for being friendly balls of fluff and feathers. They don't lay very well but are very popular because of their sweet personality and fantastic mothering qualities.
But these aren't just any Cochins: they're bantam, mottled, and frizzled. (Well, 50% of hatchlings will be frizzled... Long story, but you can't breed a frizzled bird to a frizzled bird, or you end up with big problems, so we breed frizzled roosters to smooth-feathered hens, which produces a 50% rate of frizzling in offspring.)
Frizzled Cochins are a good choice if you are concerned about your birds flying over fences, since their unusual feathers make flying any distance difficult. Even better, their quirky look won't fail to get the attention—and maybe incite the jealousy—of your neighbors. Like Silkies, Frizzles are favorites of children and all others who are young at heart.
Cochins do go broody, by the way... They make great mothers, but when they're broody, they don't lay.

Questions
Baby Chicks: Mottled Frizzle Cochin Bantam Female
I ordered a frizzle but instead received one of these cochin bantams also she turned out all black not a single white spot of the mottled pattern I was hoping for.
I would post a photo but there is no option for that. Love her all the same but disappointed to end up with one showing neither of the genetic distinctions.
Reply:
We're glad to hear you love your little Cochin bantam, but we understand your disappointment in not receiving the frizzled, mottled pattern you were expecting.
While genetics can sometimes produce unexpected results, we always want our customers to be happy with their chicks. If you ever have any concerns about an order, please reach out to our team—we’re happy to help!
As for the mottled pattern, don’t give up hope just yet! Mottling often becomes more pronounced after each molt, so you may start to see some white feathering appear as she matures.
We have sent you a private communication as well so please feel free to reach back out to us! We are always happy to do our best to help!

Ordered these to be companions to an existing frizzle hen that lost her flock mates. They are super sweet.

What a cutie!! Mine isn't a frizzle but still super adorable!
Reply:
Your baby is absolutely adorable! Thank you for sharing her photo with us all! Though there is a 50% chance that the little one will not have inherited the frizzle gene, don't be surprised if perhaps some of those curls appear as her mature feathers begin coming in. We hope that this is the case but if not, we are sure her wonderful personality and natural beauty will only add more pleasure to your flock!

She is still very tiny, but was full of spunk the moment she arrived.
