Buff columian Pekin?

I just saw this on a google search and they are beautiful. Anyone breed any pekin chickens, or know anything about this breed?

Tom has them. This is the same fella I purchased my columbians from. He has super nice stock but doesn't sell eggs... just birds.

He's on here as cochinman2005, I believe.

I have one buff columbian x mille fleur hen Im using in my mille fleur breeding program. Her mother was bred by him... and her type shows it.

I don't know much about pekin/cochin bantams but Tom's bird look really pretty.

Yeah, he's the man around these parts

I wanted to tell you that I hatched some F3 milles out and am VERY pleased to announce I have 3 that are dark brown with various amounts of red in the face!! I was just so pumped to see that. I had a lot of the chicks die in the shell... Im thinking these being pullet eggs made it harder for them to hatch. But, Im still very happy to get the few good ones. I also hatched a couple blondes and one gray that resembles my columbian chicks. I'll post pics on the thread when I get a chance. Talk with ya later, Krys!
