Cochin Thread!!!

[ShadyGroveFarm1]

I do not know the answer to that question. I do know that Splash Bantams are on track to be recognized after final qualification meet in November. Self Blues are making progress also. Mille also should be but I don't see leadership and oganization to focus on recognition.
This is the list of APA recognized colors as of July 2010. The ones only recognized by the ABA are at the bottom of the list

Hope this helps someone.

I'd like to share a pic of our young Cochin mixes. We have frizzle and regular Turken Cochins and they are so cute! I haven't researched the breed, but I call them "Turkochins"

 I have to say my SL cock is much louder and more aggressive than any of my Blacks or Columbians. They crow a little in the AM and are generally calm. Multiple cocks will have their fights if not kept separated.

I'm not suppose to have a Roo at all, I guess I will hold on to one or two till they crow, I will prob have to rehome all the cockerels

@3BirdGirlz Your babies are beautiful! Do you think the one on the left in the middle pic with blue splashing is a roo?

Yes he sure is. I have 2 splash cockerels, and a white, the rest are pullets. Thank you I love my fluffy babies and think they're beautiful too!

How many colors have been bred that is not recognized?. In bantam cochins.

edit: I see that Craig already covered it...

Pics of some of my nicer quality birds I bred.

Mindy they are lovely, I particularly like your White. She appears to be show quality, barring any unseen issues. That SL is fascinating also.

I also take French's yellow mustard and put a big splat in the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket and fill with water. Pore it on the lawn where I think the most worms are. Within minutes the worms come racing out of the ground and I collect them as treats too.
Bleach water works too to get worms out of ground immediately.

FYI, thought you might like to know that earthworms are carriers of the Gape worms. You should worm your birds a couple of times a year and make sure you get a product that will get the Gapes. Very few brands or types will get them so you need to read the label or ask someone knowledgeable about wormers. If I'm not mistaken I think that Ivermectin will get them and most other types also. It's a good broad spectrum wormer. And don't freak, birds that free range will get them even if you don't give them worms. Another FYI, mealworms are an excellent, clean treat and they will go batty over them, of course they do for earthworms also.

Ok I thought this would be the right place to ask this question, are these cochins? They are black with a green sheen when sun hits them and have feathers on their legs. Or maybe langshans?

 

[3BirdGirlz]

Don't look like Cochins. And I don't breed or know much about Langshans, but from pictures I've seen, yours do look more like that.
