If your handsome blue boy was mine, I would look for the "typey-ist" cochine hens/pullets I could find. Lots of cushion, tons of underfeathers and great foot feathering....and breed them to him. This cross should produce some nice babies. Breed the males from this breeding back to the hens...
I would like to see more "cushion" on him. Exactly how old is he? It's really very early to tell. Below I'm posting a pic of our white bantam cochin at exactly 8 weeks, 12 weeks and then again at 16 weeks. He is entered in the ABA national show in Lake City, Fl. on Jan 10.
Hopefully this...
