tkay6205 those are beautiful blues! I love the blue mottled. personal preference. The picture of that blue rooster is awesome. I think it may be because it was taken in the shade but with plenty of light around that the colors are so rich.



ps: I am not an expert on quality yet but I am learning. They are beautiful!

Your blues have very nice color, rich leaden blue with fine lacing. That cock bird is especially nice and is a very good example of the proper color of andalusian blue. The type looks good as well you have a good set of blues and blue mottleds, keep up the good work.

I still stand by my earlier statement that these are some of the best Blues I have seen in a long time. Very nice birds.

I asked earlier and no one answered so I'd like to try again.

Is anyone other than Danny working on a chocolate bantam Cochin project? Anyone using chocolate Orps?

Anyone know if my Orps can safely breed my Cochins without killing them? I mean, they are supposed to be bantams, but at nearly 6-7lbs and 18" tall... Not exactly bantam sized. As far as I know someone else is allowing their Orp over their MFC girls, but her rooster does not seem as big as my cockerels. I do not want to AI unless I absolutely have to but I don't want to jeopardize my girls' safety either. They may not be $50-100 show birds but it was not easy getting the two girls I have, so they are priceless to me at this point.

Thanks!
