Blue Cochins

[hamzah1708]

Hello all. I just found this thread and joined as soon as I could. I'v seen most of the posts and everyone's birds are gorgeous! After a two year break or so from buff Cochins I realised not having Cochins is too difficult! A few days back I went and bought a pair of blue Cochins. They are 8-9 weeks old. Here are a few shots I took of the cockerel. Please share your views and feel free to say what you really feel please. Criticism would be appreciated so I know where my Cochins stand in quality.
Also I have one question for everyone
What type of Cochins would you get if you put a black Cochin male on a blue Cochin hen or vice versa?
Thanks in advance
Here's a picture of the blue Cochin roo

Welcome to BYC!

I'm no expert, but I think that is a beautiful chick. Feel free to ask any questions you may have, make comments, or just post fun stories and pictures.

I hope this helps: https://poultrykeeper.com/poultry-breeding/genetics-blue-birds/

Best of luck with your birds!

Welcome to BYC. Depending upon the genetics of the parents you might get blues, blacks, or perhaps even splash.
