An assessment of my bantam cochins

[Justso]

I'd appreciate an honest assessment of my bantam lemon blue/splash cochins. I've included three here, I have one more but she's too young to include. These three are 8-9 months old.

For some reason the gold didn't show up on pics of the splash hen, but they're there.

They are good looking birds. I'm no poultry judge though. The rooster has uneven comb points as well as too many of them I believe.

Wow! They are SO FLUFFY!!! My little Bantam Cochin (six weeks in my avatar, she is seventeen weeks now) is not nearly that fluffy yet!

I know what they are, they are beautiful, nice birds...

I like the black one with an orange birchen look to her.
I’ll just call her Gold Birchen. She looks the best of the 3. Your splash and your cock do both have those tail feathers though. Can we see a pic from above perhaps?

I'm assuming you want to know how close they are to the standard of perfection?

Here are two links (one for the rooster and one for the hens) that will tell you what they are supposed to look like.

I think your dark gray and brown one is the best of the three.

Thanks. These are lemon blue (the solid one) and lemon blue splash.
If I'm going to move forward with breeding I'd rather not create more problems than necessary. I'm in a "starting with what you have" stage, but I'll wait if it'll be a disaster.

Thanks! Picture say a thousand words, reading the SOP I can see some flaws but I'm not knowledgeable enough, such as what is considered "medium sized".
Can't exactly show them can I ☹
But I'm confident about next year!

A couple more pictures, I do think the splash hen looks a little pointy in the tail from the side right now, maybe she'll mature out of that. They do seem to be molting a little.

Those sure are some fuzzy feet though!
