As some of you may know I had to return my beloved Gracie because she was a Gary.  The lovely chap offered me a beautiful blue cochin in return (a stunning looking bird - cute feather bloomers)).  As tempted as I am due to her aesthetic appeal, I do need more than one agg a day!  Clarissa does me proud (about 5 a week) but my wee Japanese bantam does zilch and when she does come up with the goodies they will be weeny.

So.  For eggs, would a cochin do the job?

Cheers me dears

I should think so. I have pekins and cochins and they give me an egg a day. They did go very quiet in the winter but are back on form now AND they make loverly mummies

sorry to disappoint but according to Devonshire traditional breeds centre these birds only lay about 100 smallish eggs a year, average 2 a week, but they are gorgeous and really friendly and very BIG. I have one cock but am getting some hens purely for the fun, I may show them, my little warrens lay all the eggs I need and then some
