Well I don't know if this counts but I am tryig to get a light Barahma hen without specks on it's back.

ALL the ones I orderd from McMurray have this.

Also this fall I plan to get a golden Phoenix and breed them to my silvers and eventually start to get golds.

And maybe some other breeds.

Now that I've found someone who had Bantam Black Crevecoeurs, I'm starting to look into breeding a crested Cochin. I was going to try using White Cochins with Sultans, but decided there would be too much to breed out later. I also didn't really want to use Polish because the only Bantam Polish I seem to be able to find are WCB. Crevecoeurs and Polish are the only crested chickens I've found that have only 4 toes, also.

I'm not really concerned with if having a crest makes a Cochin not a Cochin or anything like that, and I'm not gonna stress if I just can't get the leg color right. It's just for fun and I wanna see a round Cochin-like chicken with a big poofy crest.

So any advice or anything someone has, I'm open to it

Krys, I would like to see more pictures of your lav partridges. I have a project line of birds(not orps) composed by chance, almost entirely of partridges. Really hate this color and would be so nice if I was able to alter it to something more pleasing.. one idea was to introduce lavender into it.

so your gonna have Crevecoeurs with black cochins....should be nice looking or even Crevecoeurs with BBS cochins....

Yeah, sorry I left that out. Black Cochins. I'd considered Mottles Houdans with Mottled Cochins, but I think 5 toes is dominant, and I didn't want to deal with that, but I wanted the crests to match the color of the rest of the bird.

It's going to be a while, but that's where I'm trying to head

The bad part is, in two years I'm going to be a Freshman in college, and I don't see beginning this at least for a few more months. Hopefull I'll be able to still work with this even though I'll be off-site.

Edited to say that because Bantam Crevecouers seem to be rare, I'm planning on breeding some of them as well and keep that line pure from any other crosses.

I joined this site with the idea of doing French BCMs. After I got on here and found out about Lavender Orpingtons (The Orps are my favorite breed) and I had to make it my main mission. So, my Dh bought me some eggs from hinkjc and I have some on the way from Dutchchic as well. I am getting some black orps from Bamachicken to work with them as well. I am still doing BCMs too though.
