Bantam Cochin Breeders

[WyandotteTX]

MsBear, yeah I loved the Blacks that I had. They were really good chickens and good quality too. Although the breeder I bought these from, who has some of the best blacks in the country, raises a ton of them each year and these were the ones he was just getting rid of. They were excellent quality just not as good as his best ones that he kept.
I think I paid $25 for all of them just because he wanted to get rid of them. A good buy

And thanks about the Dun Wyandottes, I really liked them and would like to have some more some day.

Those do look like nice quality blacks. Why did you get rid of them?

I got rid of them because I needed the space for my other breeds and a friend liked them and wanted them. So...they moved on. Such friendly little birds though. You can just sit on a bucket and they come up around you and jump on your knee and sing...... Its nice to have them around for that reason alone.
If I get some cochin bantams again I think I would like some good quality Partridge. Always liked the Partridge.

Scott I do not know if anyone told you this yet but there are Millie flurs for sale on egg bid and the breeder looks like he has some good stock!

Ya know, I really like the Millie Fleur color pattern, but I'm not a fan of Millie Fleur Cochins. The variety is too new.... doesn't breed true. You can have a nice pair and then they'll throw all kinds of funky looking young. Give it a few years and then I'll reconsider. I think it will one day be a beautiful breed.

I'm still working on my website. I have nice Blues, & pretty good mottled. With a small percentage of black hens, most carry the blue gene. They've been producing some really nice offspring.

I raise primarily black and blue mottled bantam cochins (my website has lots of pics

) I don't hatch a whole lot of them though and am only planning on about 50 or so babies for the whole year give or take.

edited: I also end up with some blue, black and splash birds too depending on the crossings that I do.
