Calico Cochin Thread

[wwmicasa1]

They were both gorgous boys Lynne!!! Are your 2 new calico boys carrying the type you want?

They are young but so far

they look like they might mature to look great. Time will tell .....

Lovely boys to work with

Unfortunately, both are deceased. But I was able to hatch chicks from them so fingers crossed

If Joker would stay this color he'd be a Calico, but he's gonna change a lot I think


This little guy might be Calico when he matures, he's about 3 months now

I love Joker but I can't wait to see what your little one looks like when he is mature

I love Joker but I can't wait to see what your little one looks like when he is mature

I was so focused on Joker I didn't realize she posted a younger cockerel. They are both nice Nancy.

I know at one point you said the hen that i really liked of yours was in with Manolete (she had more white in her base but her colors were very rich and vibrant) I'd love to see how those offspring turned out as she was such a lovely girl for your handsome boy

Mike, I hav 2 boys (6 months) coming along that are really what you would consider Calico.

This is Manolete & Boots

Absolutely gorgeous boys! I don't think my boy is going to be that nice...but you never know, I suppose! Thanks for posting pictures! I am headed to the coop to take some of my flock now! Better bundle up though!

Boots is one of her boys. Manolete is his father

Thank you for your compliments. I'll try & get some pics of the 2 growing boys this weekend.

You know I hate it for you that you lost Manolete, I didn't know about Boots - glad you have some offspring out of him too. Can't wait to see pics of your upcoming boys!

LOL Mike

- Joker is 4 1/2 months in that pic.
Haven't named the little guy yet. He's a son of Scotty and Dorothy, so you would think he'd tend more towards Mille Fleur, but so far - at this stage - he looks like he may stay calico.
I have him and a pullet out of that pairing, before I moved them both into a pen with more hens and Dorothy went broody. The pullet looks very similar to him (maybe a little more color,) just the girl version!

Here are some of my calicos from this morning. Most of them are 6 months old. The person I got the girls from had a tail-eater, so their tails are just starting to grow back in! LOL

Annabeth


Darla and Brie


Tess is hatching a clutch of 13 MF/Calico eggs in there!!


Zoe is hatching 9 Orlandsk Dwarf eggs for us!


Brie and Darla (again)


Brie, Annabeth, and Smudge's butt!


Darla (again)


This is Smudge...he is my best Calico rooster so far...6 months old.


Smudge side view - what do you think??


Tillie is laying an egg this morning!


This is one of my 6 month boys...Truffle. He is to MF for my liking, so he will be sold along with some of the other roosters not pictured.
