Buff Cochin Bantams

[gdawg2024]

Hello, I have two buff Cochin bantam cockerels that I am going to show and I’m wondering based on the standard which shade of buff is preferred? One of my cockerels is very dark in color, and the other is just as light as the pullets. Thank you!

I'm a bit rusty, but when I was showing my bantam cochins darker than the pullets was preferred (could have been that judge though)

It's a balance between a rich color and evenness of color. Both are preferred.

Honestly, body conformation and fluffiness are a little lacking in both of them. But I think it is better in the darker one. That's the one I'd pick.
