Calling all blue cochin lovers!!!

[4-H chicken mom]

I purchased two blue cochin pullet chicks this spring. One has turned out to be light and the other is darker. Which color blue would be better for exhibition? Do judges prefer the light blue or darker blue? Thanks

Beautiful! The lighter one almost looks like a diluted splash or something? I think I'd go with the darker one, but I'm not sure.


How old are they?

They are 15 wks. I can only show one blue but I don't know which one to take.

I say the darker blue!

Those are really beautiful . I would go with the darker for showing.

The lighter one looks almost like a bad splash or a lavender.

When it comes to blues, the darker with the better lining, the better. So the dark one for sure.

Show the darker one. I bet she will do well. The lighter one is a splash.

That bluish-black feather in the lighter one suggests that she's a splash, she should get more dark feathers as she matures. The blue has nice lacing, she looks good.
