Cochin breeding, genetics, and showing

[carriestewart]

Glad I read some posts before posting my question. I wondered about the same thing with a blue rooster I have with red leaking. I am keeping black, blue and splash Cochins for my program. I also want to experiment on trying for something like this Cochin as a side project:



Which is why I am keeping a buff hen and a roo.



Still investigating my genetics to try and get there.

I am doing BBS cochins' also!

Any pictures??? Want a 'study buddy' so we can bounce ideas and conclusions off each other??

That'd be awesome!! I have to get some good pictures today anyways!

These are pictures from my fair this year. I got Grand Champ senior showmanship, and Grand Champ Breeding Poultry with my blue cochin pullet

She's nice!!! Here is what I have so far...



One of my black hens.



My splash hen.



Another black and a blue hen with my blue rooster on the right. Not sure what to do with him and I don't think I will use him for my BBS breeding.

Good idea..

I've only got 2 cochins' right now, a smooth pullet the one above and a frizzle cockerel who's also a blue.

Here's another of the pullet

She's only 7 1/2 months right now. Only thing I want on her is a better tail, hopefully that will grow in
