Blue/Gray Large Fowl Cochin

He looks like a blue and their feet should be yellow. Our rooster acts the same way doesnt push the issue but after awhile all the hens want to be with him. I dont know what color you would get because we keep all of ours seperated. The cochins are neat to have around they both look good and I wish you luck with them.They aslo lay fairly well at times.jeff

 

Quote:Their legs should be dark. The bottoms of a cochin's foot should be yellow, but not the entire foot or leg. They will be a good breeder pair unless you plan on producing show birds.

 

The hen looks blue, also. When you breed blue to blue, the chicks will be black, blue, and splash.

 

The standard for bantam blue cochins calls for the legs to be "swarthy yellow." Perhaps someone with the APA standard can see if it differs for large fowl blue cochins.
