Buff Cochin Bantam chickens for sale are a wonderful choice for backyard flock owners who want a small, fluffy breed with gentle personality, classic buff coloring, and ornamental charm. These bantams have the round, full-feathered appearance Cochin Bantams are loved for, with soft golden buff plumage and feathering that extends down the legs and feet.

Although Buff Cochin Bantams look like miniature Buff Cochin standard chickens, their history may be separate. These bantams were brought to Great Britain from Peking, now Beijing, China, around 1860 and were known as Pekin Bantams. In England and parts of Europe, they are still called Pekins, while in the United States they are considered Cochin Bantams.

Cochin Bantams are among the most popular feather-legged bantam breeds. The buff variety is the original plumage color and was recognized by the American Poultry Association Standard of Perfection in 1874. Their full feathering and low stance give them a charming round shape, but they are not fast-moving birds and should be kept in a secure coop or protected run.

Buff Cochin Bantams do not require much space, making them a good fit for small backyard coops. Their heavy foot feathering means they prefer clean, dry ground instead of muddy conditions. They are cold hardy with proper dry shelter, but they are usually more comfortable in cooler weather than in hot climates.

Buff Cochin Bantam hens are excellent broodies and protective mothers. If you are looking for bantam chickens for sale, Buff Cochin Bantams are an outstanding choice for backyard pets, show birds, and ornamental flocks. For a larger bird with a similar look, see our Buff Cochin standard chickens.
