, but where I can I find a list of Cochin colors approved by the APA? Bantam and Standard? There are so many colors available....

There is a published book titled "Standards of Perfection." I recommend the color version since color is such an important issue, it seems critical that you should be able to SEE the color, a verbal description alone just doesn't get it. The color version is a little pricey, but invaluable. Here's the link: http://www.amerpoultryassn.com/APA_ShoppingMall3.htm

I think it lists all the LF varieites correctly, but the list of Bantams is missing a few - such as Buff Columbian and Silver Penciled.

I believe those are only ABA recognized and not APA. I think APA has different (think stricter) requirements for entry. I was answering the question asked which was about the APA varieties/colors.
