I have a few blue mottled bantam cochin chicks that appear to have barring on some, but not all of their feathers. They are siblings, hatched from the same pen, but not necessarily from the same hen...there isn't a good way to know at the moment, and the parents aren't my birds. As a matter of...
With a new year beginning shortly, does anyone have any new bantam cochin projects they are starting up for 2014? If you are continuing with a project you've been working on, what are you hoping to accomplish/work on improving this coming year?
