Cochin Thread!!!

That was a peculiar double post

Now I've noticed that many of the cochins on here have bigger combs and wattles than mine do. Because my birds live in an unheated coop in Zone 4, I plan to breed for small comb/wattle size.

What is more desirable for SQ, bigger or smaller?

Actually, the SOP (for Bantam males) calls for combs that are "medium size". Wattles should be "large, pendant, rather long".
For females, combs are "medium size"; wattles are small.

The complete SOP text for both Bantams and LF, male and female, can be found here:

If it's one thing I learned at my first show, just put them on the table. Let the judge decide.

I would certainly show this lovely little guy!

My thoughts exactly. I'm taking mine just to see how good they do, I have no idea if I'm wasting my time. I know they are 'nice', but I don't know how nice they are. He has a good cushion, so that's a plus

Can anyone answer my question? It was 8 posts ago
