Cochin Thread!!!

Oh wow! They're really cute! Are they older now?

Yup. I only kept one. The partridge with mottling, just in case I start a mille project one day. All the others I sold, and they were test breedings to see what my birds were "made of" genetically speaking

Is this considered lacing on my splash rooster?

He is a very pale colored blue and that is very indistinct lacing. Those are also vulture hocks projecting from the back just below the wing tip.

Hello all! Absolutely love this thread. Just a couple questions regarding a couple of my birds.

This is a 4 week old bantam cochin I incubated. What is up with the red around the neck? Is there a name for its markings?

Another pic. She is awfully cute!

This is my main man Jack. Is he considered blue or blue splash? I don't understand the splash thing I guess. It really doesn't matter I love them all regardless. Just wondering. I've had my birds over a year and I still am learning new thing every day.

from the one pic that came thru for the chick, i'd say it's a he, no idea on coloring, for the other, I don't think he's purebred cochin, first off, and second, he's not splash. what he IS, I can't say. sorry.

this is my blue (mottled) roo and splash girl (back before they got stained with our red clay and became overall tan/brown. LOL)
