Cochin Bantams are one of the most popular breeds in The United States and we are so pleased to offer birds from some of the top lines. True to their roots, these are birds that replicate the mass of their large fowl counterpart but in true bantam size. The mass of soft feather and personable temperament make this breed a favorite for 4-H and FFA club work, and their classic lines make them a favorite of serious open show exhibitors as well. Don Bischof has raised the Buffs for many generations and they show both beautiful type and bright and consistent color. Don and I are also working on Cochin Bantams in Partridge, Black, White, and Blue and we hope to have enough numbers to be able to offer these later in 2021. Each bird is evaluated by Don and me for quality at different stages of development to ensure that only the best birds are selected for sale. Cochin Bantams normally ship October through April, depending upon availability of birds and agreeable weather conditions.

Young adult birds are generally shipped October through May and may be shipped at other times, weather permitting. With adult birds you know you’re getting birds that have gone through our rigorous selection process and will be the best genetics we have to offer. As birds are produced in small numbers from premium stock, stock is limited, and availability may depend on how well the birds are producing. We do not keep a waitlist, so birds are shipped in the order they are paid.
Birds are shipped USPS Express Mail to the lower 48 states and Alaska. We ship each Tuesday, and a specific shipping date will be confirmed when the birds are ready to ship. The tracking number will be communicated after the birds have shipped, and we ask that you let us know when they arrive. Any loss as the result of shipping will be managed via the USPS insurance program and replacements will be shipped when they come available. We do not offer shipping refunds for shipments that arrive past the scheduled delivery time. Bird purchases are not refundable.
In preparation for receiving your new birds, we encourage you to have cage space ready with fresh shavings. It is a good idea to contact your local post office the week of shipment to let them know you are expecting a shipment of live birds an ask them to call you as soon as the birds arrive to save them time in transit. Newly arrived birds will benefit from electrolytes in their water.
