The cochin bantam is one of the most popular feather-legged bantams to own. There are 16 color varieties already recognized in the bantam standard. They are small balls of fluff, docile, and a wonderful addition for any backyard flock.

The bantam cochin made its first appearance in English in the 1860s. It was said that the breed was bred down from its large fowl predecessor, however, the foundation was brought from China by returning soldiers. The original color was buff. Cochin bantams were made popular by their docile and domestic nature, which is still attractive behavior for flock owners today.
