Cochin breeders....need suggestions...

[Hoosiermomma]

For those who love cochins, I need some suggestions. With our first 4H show behind us, I would like some suggestions or ideas on what type of cochin to show next year. Mind you, we generally do not go with the usual or typical. For instance we showed English Angora rabbits this year while everyone else showed New Zealands, mini lops, jersey wooleys, etc. For goats next year we will be showing nigerian dwarfs versus the usual pygmys, boars etc. You have an idea what I mean. We showed black this year b/c that's what we had. I would like ideas on what to show next year so I can work on finding them before then.

Barred are a nice variety of cochin. I prefer the Blacks myself. They are such wonderful color.

i rly like barred but i think mottled is a rly interesting color too

 

[JewellFarm]

I would go with something besides B/B/S then. A few ideas would be....Columbian, Mottled, Gold Laced. I know a few people on here have very nice Mottled Bantams. Good luck with your project.

I like Splash, Millie Fleur, and Lavender.

is millie fluer an approved color to show 4-h?

approved color really isnt a issue in 4H unless you show by breed but usually u just show by variety thats the way it is in Putnam County Indiana
