Partridge Cochin

Im not to sure that bird is a Cochin. Or Partridge. If so then it is not a good quality bird.

His feathers on his legs broke off from the cold. They havn't yet to come back. his father was from mcmurray in an order of 25 cochins. He was the only roo we kept and all the other hens were all different colors. We only had cochins when he hatched and still only have cochins in that pen.

These are the birds I drove to Indiana for. The pics do not do them justice. I think they are an awfully good starter flock.

Rooster which would not cooperate for a pic.

Are you feeling OK or are you still sore from the accident?

I know what they are supposed to look like but all I know is their father was a psrtridge cochin, the mother, was either buff, partridge, white, or black cochin, and his feathers on his feet got muudy, they roze before i could wash them the next day, and when i tried to wash them they broke off. but, his pattern resemble's partridge other than the color being to light. So, since he's been a chick, i've asked people about what to call him and the majority said to call a partridge or cochin cros cochin. if anybody is upset, i guess i should have labled him cochin cross cochin.

Don't feel bad He is a good looker and when I first saw the pic of him I saw cochin! You could call him color cross cochin.
People just need to lighten up and not judge before they know all the facts and ask questions first. I had someone tell me that one of my D'Uccle wasn't a D'Uccle because it was not a recognized color.

I know. People make inferences but i guess it's fine. They're just letting you in on some of their knowledge. even if he isn't a good quality cochin, i still really like him and i don't show or breed him, he is justa flock guarder and as long as i like him everything is ok for him.

I just hatched 3 Splash!

One of them is darker, possibly a blue? Or, I hope, a darker Splash. Aren't they cute?

I know we've all been thru this before, but it bears repeating:

This thread is for ALL Cochin lovers - whether you own show quality stock or pet quality. We are here primarily to help one another with raising, breeding and showing concerns, but we are also here to enjoy each other's pictures and common love of the Cochin breed - both Bantam and Large Fowl.

BUT, having said that, everyone needs to put more factual information with their pictures and questions. Give us as much information as possible up front - age, parentage, variety, etc. It will save everyone time and effort - and maybe save some feelings along the way. If you want a comment or critique, say so. If you don't want a comment or critique, say so.

And please, if you do want a critique, post as many photos as possible - front, side, back, even looking down at the top of the bird. And please, don't just say "What do you think? Try to be more specific - "I'm concerned about his wing carriage because . . . . ." , etc.

If you are not interested in improving your Cochin stock, I would suggest that perhaps a better place to post your pictures on would be the "Pictures of my Chickens" forum.
