I am North Carolina. I am looking to make my own buff mottled cochin and buff columbian cochins.
Right now I have dozens of buff cochins, columbian cochins and Calico/Mille Fleur type cochins.
Is it possible to start the buff mottled line with a nice Buff rooster and calico hens that already have the mottled gene or should I get black mottled and use those in place of the calico?
With the buff columbian could I just use a nice solid buff rooster with my nicest columbian hens and be successful on the first try or would it take several yrs to perfect?
Also, what projects could I use with the solid white hens pictured? These were hatched out solid white and it is coming from one of the Calico hens. 1 or 2 out of every 20 chicks come out solid white from this one calico cochin pen.
