Bantam Cochin Cockerels - give me your opinions!

[Christina.Rich]

Hi All,

I would like you to give me your opinions on my two roos, one is a splash and one is a white. I will be using both for breeding, and possibly showing the splash at some point later this year.

The white has some feet problems due to poor husbandry before I acquired him so he won’t be shown, but I love his type.

Which one do you like better? Which one do you feel as though could improve on certain areas? If so, what areas?

I love them!!! I would really consider showing the white one

Thank you! I really wish I could show the white one, his feet aren't showing in the pictures really well, but his toes are malformed due to him being housed in a really small cage for a good period of time (this is what I was told by others). Makes me angry, cause he is so pretty!

Awe! He was soo perfect looking. Nice crown, shape, color, etc!

Thank you I do plan on using him for breeding though, hoping to get some nice whites out of him!

There is no doubt you will! Go for it!

They are both gorgeous. You should get some beauties from them. I have a "smooth frizzle", also white, who looks so much like yours, but his tail isn't as pretty.

That roo looks exactly like the cockerel I sold last year!

are those stains on the splash? Sun-bleach maybe?Whats wrobg with the white's feet?

They're both beautiful, but the white one looks amazing!

The only thing I csn really see wrong with the white is that he has 3 points on his comb..
