I recently went to the show in Sedalia Mo. and there were mottleds there that weren't this typey.
These dont look terrible especially for what I have seen in the MF project. Most of the MF's I have seen aren't very typey occassionally you see one that is pretty good typed.
Yes she is not perfect but she is better than most I have seen even on here.
Gee, pretty much sounds like what I have been preaching for years. You see why I close my eyes and have my DH hand me birds? I don't see color or pattern. I feel the type, the shape and the makings of a good breeder bird. Color is moot without anything else.There was an excellent point on the previous page. It was that you do not look at the pattern and look at the whole bird without considering the pattern. . Ideally you would want a Cochin to look like a good white or Black type wise. Think good head with a straight comb, proper eye color,wide body, high wings, lots of cushion, proper leg color then and only then does pattern really matter. Breeding for pattern without breeding for type is a lost cause. You have eye candy but you still have nothing. Flip side of that is when you get to better typed birds in any variety then you have to consider pattern/color. If you breed to a color that you like but is not correct with the SOP then the critiques flow over pattern/color.
