Cochins are great ,I've never had any that weren't friendly,What Kind(color)(size) cochins are they I breed the standard size cochins in partridge,buff,and blue.They are wonderful birds,If they are still pretty small you can get them used to you better by letting their feed run out each day and before just giving them food make them work for it by coming closer to you or holding out a handful to them,Their eagerness for food will usually outweigh the fear of you.and yes they are very sociable flocks as long as they have enough room the boys will usually get along.Good Luck Pat
