The Top 16 Chicken Breeds for Your Backyard Flock

Given their heavy statue and immense fluff, Cochins are very cold hardy and easy to contain with minimal fencing. They aren't aggressive foragers, and prefer the fat and lazy approach. They're not super heat tolerant, but that can be overcome with extra precautions like plenty of shade, cold water, frozen treats. In regards to colors, Cochins come in just about all of them! Buff, blue, gold laced, white, black, mottled, brown, red, and more.
