It won't be a cochin if it doesn't have feather legs/feet. He doesn't and looks like he never will and neither will the other one.

Ofcours he is not, I never said such a thing, what I said is he is a F1

so I will breed him Back to his Cochin mother and get a B1(Back Cross) and do the say until I get a Blue Naked Neck Cochin...

Nic, obviously, seeing a "Naked Neck Cochin" is something we are totally unfamiliar with here in the States. I know you've mentioned before that you don't have a lot to work with where you are. Even if they weren't Naked Necks, it is still hard to see the Cochin in them, according to our U.S. Standards. Do you have any pure-bred Cochins to work with? Can you post a pic?

I do, but they are so few of them, and so far also..

but being a Junior Scientist at heart I find it so entertaining to do the genetics my self, plus I will be using him(the Blue one) to mate him to a wild type OEG hen(father was OEG) to isolate Di(Dominat Dilute) so far Dilute has not been Isolated by anybody I know

I will be mating him back to his mother ofcourse

Well you know I'll be there, and I'm looking forward to finally meeting you, Craig!!

Just can't guarantee that I'll have any birds there. They're so scruffy right now, you can't even tell they're Cochins.

I have more than a few like that also.

Iwill be both at Crossroads and at Ohio Nationals.

Wow, Craig, you come in all the way from Iowa for the RMFF show!! I plan to attend it bringing any cochins & silkies in good enough feather. So many are molting....

Your club hired some very good judges (one will judge at the Crossroads show, but not Cochins). The judges really know their poultry. 2 of them have bred and raised good Cochins as well as being successful in other breeds. I want their input on any birds I might take to Crossroads. A DQ that I overlooked or something like that. Some of mine look very good now but are due to molt. Fingers crossed!
Still waiting on an entry form. Last time I checked the catalog wasn't ready yet.

Kind of quiet over here lately . Feels like genetics, breeding has moved back to the original cochin thread.

Craig,
I've not seen the entry form yet either. In the last couple of years, John Baker has emailed it. You may give a resident cochin breeder (Al Prado) a run for his money in cochins! Mr. Prado's black hens are hugely fluffy. Hope you have a safe trip to CO!
