I'M WANTING TO COMPLETE A PROJECT WITH MY COCHINS BUT DON'T KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT DOING SO. I'M TRYING TO MAKE A BUFF SPLASH. (BUFF REPLACING THE BLUE/BLACK). WOULD BREED BUFF ROO OVER SPLASH HEN OR VICE VERSA? I THINK THIS WOULD BE A GORGEOUS COCHIN!

I don't know if a buff splash is even possible.

Would be interesting to find out though.

do you want a blue tailed buff cochin? (Splash is a double dose of blue Bl/Bl, blue is just one Bl/bl+)
