Wish i could post pics of the progress on my chocolate cochin bantams. They are turning out wonderful in the color and made huge progress with yellow feet and middle toe feathering. Got some very nice quality blk pullets coming soon to continue on helping with type. I have about 30 chocolates now and excited to see what next springs hatch will bring.

And millie and cicos are doing amazing as well. Got some nice out crosses this year and been culling pretty hard. I have about 80 of them and just like the chocolates, excited to see what i get next spring. With the different bloodlines from some amazing reputable breeders, im hoping to soon start getting some awesome typed birds.

Would love to see pics of your chocolates!!!! Your birds are beautiful from the pictures I have seen in the past

Looking for opinions on whether you prefer a darker or lighter colored blue cochin

Yup the darker the blue the better!

Ok thanks! The judge at 4H loved the color of my light blue cochin. But I thought that you wanted darker blue ones. Good thing I am getting some blacks

I have 2 that I was told are Cochins, they do have feathered feet, but very different coloring than any other Cochin I see. HELP! Are they really Cochin? Here is the white one: They were both born in April. The other one is opposite coloring Black with white lacing.

The picture you posted looks like a Columbian Cochin

If this is what your other one looks like its a Birchen Cochin
