I love your mottleds Amy! Everytime you post pics I want to get some more.

Not only are Amy's mottleds lovely but they have the "sweetest" personalities. My boy just talks & talks to me. Mine are black but those blue you have are to die for~!!!!!

Yah, Roscoe was just like that. I wish I kept some of his kids but the hens I used with him just didn't have what they needed and his chicks were horrible.

So I decided to breed a 2 headed Mottled chicken! LOL Kinda looks like it in this photo. These are 2 girls from Ziggy with my avatar possibly being the mom.



I just sold this Mottled pullet with the nice Mottled cockerel. I am starting to sell the ones I know I do not need to keep for breeding or showing. So hard to part with any of them. They are so sweet and I enjoy them so much but well over 100 and hatching season coming up.

Do mottled cochins come in standard size or just bantams?

 

[WestKnollAmy]

Both. Though there are more bantam breeders than LF.

Thank you I have seen the bantams in person but never the standard

Yes, also large fowl. They are not yet recognized but close!
