I was just asking because somehow, somewhere, I need a bantam buff columbian cochin to breed into my MFC stock...

I think has been mentioned on the yahoogroup... kinda got a little heated over there. Personally, I'd prefer a more standard name, like the ones mentioned that are already used for other breeds/varieties.
Msbear, what kind of columbian cochins do you have?
