Black Bantam Cochin Cockerel. From a mottled pen. He should show more mottling as he molts. This cockerel has very nice type with wonderful foot feathering and the so desired green sheen. He should be an excellent breeding individual when he...
Overrun With chickens, those little hens of yours are nice birds. Just cross with a shorter back male should give you very pretty chicks. Actually, that little splash could come live here. :) and your blue has very nice lacing which isn't always easy to find.
