Post 623 in the Large Fowl Cochin thread has pictures I have posted of six 5 month old cockerels I have in my flock. Most are self-blue. I would appreciate comments from some of the knowledgeable breeders about which ones I should keep for breeding. Criticism is most welcome since I am learning.
Kat,
I posted my comments on the LF thread before I read this post. Here now you say that most are Self-Blue. So I just went back and looked again - none of them look Self-Blue to me. They look like (Andalusian) Blue - Blue, Black and Splash.
But my comments still stand - ditch #1, and send #6 to me!
