I have had bantam cochins for 7 years and i have them for their broody nature to hatch my oegb eggs.

They are alot of the breeders i know's choice for a brood hen and they are excellent mothers and i have 7 years experinence in these.
One man i know use's them to hatch his quail eggs.

I have had game fowl and the hens did not do well as brooders and i hatched their eggs under a
cochin.

If fact i'm ordering about 25 come spring partridge my favorites:-)
