Cochin Thread!!!

[isaacsmommy104]

Hi all. If someone who has some experience in what you are to be looking for in cochins could help me out by giving me some constructive criticism on the birds below I would really appreciate it. I'm very new to cochins and absolutely green to showing. I promise not to be defensive at all. Thank you so much in advance!

Same three birds below, just all together.

Thank you very much for any and all opinions.

Has anyone ever though about making a buff mottled cochin? I think that would be BEAUTIFUL!

I've thought about it and think I'm going to do some test hatches but I'm thinking they may wind up calico.. Which is also fine by me.. Lol but well see.

It always helps if you can tell us when posting pics: 1) Bantam or LF (Large Fowl), 2) Age, and 3) Color Variety.

Can anyone tell me how I can start a project on Lemon Blue Cochin Bantams?

You need some Brown Red cochins and Blue or Blue Splash cochins to mate together, then mate the siblings together, and/or mate Father/daughter, Mother/son and go from there.

Yea, except maybe the mottling a bit clearer, though! I'll have to post pictures once she's done molting! The front of her feet start out dark buff and then fade into a white feather at the end-very cool!
