Total ‘fluff-balls”, profusely feathered, including on the feet. The prolific feathering can make care tricky, particularly in wet weather. They are large heavy birds with hens weighing 3-4 kilos. They are friendly easy-going chooks that, despite their size, are happily contained. They do lay eggs but only 60-100 medium-sized off-white per year.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCochins are fabulous ‘incubators’ – they are reliably (and regularly!) broody, sitting contently on eggs and are happy to adopt chicks as well. It you want to breed yourself, particularly if you have kids, these birds are a lovely addition to your flock. Because of their gentleness they can find interacting with other hens challenging, so keeping at least two together in a mixed flock is a good idea.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Flock \u0026amp; Feather Yarn of the Month Sock Sets\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eOn the first day of every month we release a new Flock \u0026amp; Feather 'Yarn of the Month' sock set, which will be available only during the respective month, inspired by a different chicken breed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis listing will close on 31st October 2026 or when yarns sell out.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlock \u0026amp; Feather sock sets are dyed to order will ship in the last week of the month.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYarn Options - choose from the following options:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBFL Nylon Fingering\u003cspan\u003e + Mini Skeins \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e- 1 x 365m\/100gm skein + 2 x 72m\/20gm co-ordinating mini skein, 80% Superwash Bluefaced Leicester (BFL)\/20% Nylon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMerino Nylon Sock + Mini Skeins\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e- 1 x 425m\/100gm skein + 2 x 85m\/20gm co-ordinating mini skein, 75% Superwash Merino\/25% Nylon.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMerino Nylon DK + Mini Skeins\u003c\/strong\u003e - 1 x 243m\/100gm skein + 2 x 48m\/20gm co-ordinating mini skein, 80% Superwash Merino\/20% Nylon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can find more detailed information about our yarn bases \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.louieandlolayarns.com.au\/pages\/yarn-bases\" title=\"here\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1.4em;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Louie \u0026 Lola Yarns","offers":[{"title":"BFL Nylon Fingering (4ply)","offer_id":67629797638298,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Merino Nylon Sock (4ply)","offer_id":67629797671066,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Merino Nylon DK (8ply)","offer_id":67629797703834,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/4495\/3672\/files\/louie-lola-yarns-yarn-club-flock-feather-yarn-of-the-month-october-2026-buff-cochin-1260427733.jpg?v=1790823750","url":"https:\/\/www.louieandlolayarns.com.au\/products\/flock-feather-yarn-of-the-month-october-2026-buff-cochin","provider":"Louie \u0026 Lola Yarns","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
