Let's see...poor type, wrong foot color (should be yellow), eye color, too young to tell much else on these boys.

He looks like a cross of several things but he is a very pretty boy
I guess I should just say, he's not a recognized color and you won't be able to find anything that defines him. Pretty boy.

He is a very pretty boy if you just want pretty birds! I love him!

What color would this roo be? It was labeled blue columbian (or blue buff columbian) or blue calico. I looked for pictures but can't find any that look like him.



He is one of my favorites. I just love his coloring! I would love to hatch more for my yard but the only hens I have are calico, black, mottled, buff and lavendar. I just put him with my calico to see what they make.

I would highly suggest, since he appears to be a mix (straight tail feathers are a big no-no) plus the dark beak (and i'm guessing from that dark foot coloring), that unless you want to produce more mutts, I wouldn't use him with any cochins.

he is very pretty, but I wouldn't use him at all. maybe keep him as a flock protector if you free range, and find a better roo for breeding.

X2. He looks nothing like a Cochin.

Could he be a Brahma?

I went over to a Brahma thread and he looks a whole lot more like a Brahma rooster than a Cochin!!
