Cochin Thread!!!

The lack of leg and foot feathering on the male is not good. Please read the Breed standard. If you don't have a copy go to the Cochin International website and click on the heading Breed Standards at the top of the page. You can then make an informed decision for yourself.

ok...

Try putting his picture side by side with a show quality roo picture and you can kind of judge what you're looking for that way too~

I pretty much across the board don't like Frizzles, only seen two before now that I likes, but this guy is GORGEOUS!
I think it's safe to say that you've got your Frizzle program down pat. I know your other birds are beautiful also, but this guy just looks like he's got it all.

Sorry, forgot to add pics of my Red frizzle male. I have forgotten to take pics many times, and today he looked really nice fresh out of his moult. As you can see, he isn't exactly what you would call a great example of a frizzle Cochin, but its a start in the right direction with my Red project.

Stephanie, I have to be honest - my very first thought when I looked at him was that he's not a purebred Cochin.

can u guys tell me if these guys are good quality or not. Bought the roo from a friend. the hen was givin to me from someone i show with. hens skittish. hard to get a good pic of her

Well, I have been following this thread for ages looking at wonderful pictures of bantam cochins some of high standard, I have a few myself and I like to learn from everyones pictures and comments, we all talk about type, leg feathering etc but never about size........

I've been thinking

, mabe if not too much trouble having a separate bantam cochin thread with the cochin/s standing alongside a well known object like a aluminium coco cola can, this means we can get an idea of how big they are and how big they should be like.I think this might help everyone including me because I think my cochins are a little small having something like this would help me a lot.

i dont think anyones done something like this so.....What do you think?

Great pictures everyone. Casey, your whites are beautiful as always. The red frizzle is so cool looking. He looks like he has lots of personality.
