Egg records
Cackle Hatchery's Buff Cochin Standard breed-facts list Egg Production as 110-160 eggs per year. The page stores that range and renders it in the chart and quick-facts table. McMurray Hatchery's Egg Color field records brown. Cackle Hatchery's Egg Shell Color field records Brown. The page stores brown as the canonical egg-color label.
The retained evidence supports the displayed egg records at seller scope. It does not establish a seasonal laying pattern or a comparative egg-yield ranking against other breeds, so this profile makes none of those claims beyond what the categorical records assert.
Mature weight and laying maturity
McMurray Hatchery's Female Mature Weight field records 8.5 lbs and Male Mature Weight records 11 lbs. Cackle Hatchery's Weights field records Hen 8 1/2 lbs and Rooster 11 lbs. The page stores those overlapping numeric values and renders them in the chart and quick-facts table. The retained facts support only the listed sex-specific weights. They do not establish a body-size category, feed use, space requirement, growth rate, or carcass value; those subjects are deliberately absent rather than inferred from the numeric values.
McMurray Hatchery's Weeks to Maturity field records 20. The page stores that typed numeric value. The retained fact is a hatchery-listed laying-onset estimate rather than a promise that every hen begins laying within that window. The page does not convert the source's figure into a month estimate or infer a growth rate from it.
Other sourced fields
Cackle Hatchery's Temperament field records Docile. The page stores docile as the canonical temperament label. The retained evidence does not establish a per-bird personality scale, a handling-instruction set, or a flock-management recommendation, so those subjects are deliberately absent rather than inferred from the temperament word.
McMurray Hatchery's Comb Type field records single. The page stores single as the canonical comb-type label. The retained evidence does not establish a comb-size category or a winter-hardiness conclusion from the comb description; those subjects are deliberately absent.
McMurray Hatchery's Cold Tolerance field records best. The page stores cold as the canonical climate-tolerance label. The retained evidence does not establish a coop-design recommendation or a ventilation specification; those subjects are deliberately absent rather than inferred from the climate word.

Flock size calculator
Enter your household size and target egg output. The calculator returns the flock size and space you'll need based on the productivity tier you pick.
Hens needed: 3
(4 × 2 eggs/week / 3 eggs/hen/week, rounded up)
Coop space: 6 sq ft (2 sq ft/hen × 3 hens)
Run space: 30 sq ft (10 sq ft/hen × 3 hens)
These are minimums. Most backyard keepers give 1.5–2× this much space, especially for run area, to allow range rotation and reduce feather-picking behavior.
Where these numbers come from
- Low tier 3 eggs/hen/week — Egg Production: 150 – 280 eggs per year www.cacklehatchery.com
- Medium tier 5 eggs/hen/week — Egg Production: 200-280 eggs per year www.cacklehatchery.com
- High tier 6 eggs/hen/week — Cackle lists White Leghorns as producing large to extra-large white eggs, with an estimated 280–320 eggs per year. www.cacklehatchery.com
- Coop 2 sq ft + run 10 sq ft per large chicken (minimum) — A small bantam chicken needs a minimum of 1 square foot of indoor space and 4 square feet of outdoor space, while a large chicken needs a minimum of 2 square feet of indoor space and 10 square feet of outdoor space. extension.msstate.edu
