Are you planning to show?
and i understand, I'm sometimes amazed that i get any pics that aren't just a blur!
Been trying to get a pic of this little one because i think it's going to be frizzled, but she will not hold still! They all turn out like this

Hello. I'm curious about my little blue Cochin girl if she's meeting the standard or not. She's about 3 months old. Also, didn't like her picture being taken, quite squirmy, so I hope I got enough of her for you to help me.

She looks more lavender/self blue than blue

Not sure about showing, but I would like to breed as close to the standard as I can and have birds of good body shape as their breed standard intends them to be. It's simply a project I want to do with all my birds.

And yes, that's about right with chickens. All blurry.

That's exactly my theory and want. I would likely never show, but i do have customers with kids in 4H, for example, that want to show them. So i do want to breed as close as possible to SOP.

Finally got a decent pic of a pretty little splash of mine..After hatching several splash males, i finally got a female. She's around 9 weeks old

I'm still learning about the colors chickens can be. All in all, she's greyish looking.

Pretty chicken. And yeah, same here with breeding close as possible to SOP. I live in a farming community, so 4-H is pretty big here too, and there are shows throughout the year.

I wondered if she was self-blue also. Self-blue or lavender are the same "lav" gene, some breeds use the self-blue term, like self-blue OEGBs. Some use lavender, like lavender Orpingtons. Same gene. I think cochins use self-blue terminology. Blue is diluted black, with blue/black/splash. Two totally things. BBS blue can be many varying shades. Having said that, i think your girl is blue because of being able to see the shaft of the feather. Usually its not visible in lavenders. *I think* Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Do you have any idea what her parents look like?

I do not unfortunately. She's hatchery stock of the local farm supply and they order them from somewhere themselves. Which is why I am asking if she looks good enough (SOP) to be used as breeding. I still need to get a picture of her standing and not being held. When I do, I'll post it here.

She's beautiful! And that's great... sounds like a great plan to move forward with.
