Ok, I apologize for trash talking our judge, and starting this whole rant on the thread. Let's please change the topic before the moderators shut us down.
Ooooooo I'm in love with them! Cochins are so big and fluffy. I want to get a LF Cochin roo from a breeder, just because of the sheer mass and regalness of them.
Our fair let's us bring cross birds, because it is more of a backyard bird show, however, this person asked what breed she was, and he replied that he knew for sure that that was what she was. Sizzles can be judged, because they are judged to the Silkie standard except for the feathers.
Our judge is awful, he is APA certified, yet didn't know what a Sizzle was, and called an obvious Red Sex Link a Buff Orpington crossed with a Rhode Island Red.
