He is still not a show quality bird, and never will be. His type is very incorrect, his legs and feet are wrong color, and he also looks to have 5 toes in the first pic posted.

Again, this bird is not a show quality bird and never will be. If you would like others input, post in the Cochin thread. :)

Yes, I would. They are lovely birds but they wont be worth much more than that. If your interested in showing, I doubt these birds will benefit you in any way. But remember, Cochins are great broodies so you may want to hold onto the females to use for natural incubators.

Also, check out the Cochin thread, lots on useful info there and many links are posted thorughout the thread that could be benificial. Also check out Cochins International on facebook or their website: http://www.cochinsint.com/
