LF- large foul

 

[Black Cochin Bantams]

Does anyone know where I can buy lemon blue cochins? I really want to add some to my flock and I am having trouble finding them, I know its not a recognized color but I didn't think it would be this hard to find!

I personally know of nobody working with Lemon Blues. The person I did know working with them decided to quit and work with recognized varieties..

Try lucky pickens.

Try lucky pickens.

Roslyn Pickens is on facebook as well as ebay. she doesn't do byc much anymore I don't think. she is working on a variety of different colors. IMO she's a good place to start, so you can develop and improve your own lines. but I think she only does bantams not LF. so depends on what you're looking for. her ebay user name is luckypickens.

I might add, I've had several shipments of eggs from her over the years, in a number of different varieties. some have better type than others, but I don't think I'd consider any of them show quality. they're all good project starters tho.

are you sure he's a cochin? looks more like a langshan to me...

LF cochins are WAY bulkier.

Very pretty. I have 4 blacks I' growing out, 2 girls, and 2 boys. I hope they look that nice. I plan on breeding bbs with the blue boy above, and my blue hen.

LOL I just went thru the pics folder and found the first one that was close to fitting the standard... I still think juvenile LF look like baby wookies, but that's just me. LOL

think i'll stick with my bantam cochins and the Dorkings for LF...

Thank you =) I like the bantams more than the LF in cochins so it will work for me. The main reason I would like to get some is not only the color but my daughter is interested in seeing what colors can make what so it will be a nice project for us to do together
