Who else has Brown Red cochins ? Post some pics. Here is a few pics of my BR pen. Sorry he is in a molt, I'll have to take a few more of him when he has finished his molt.
I've never looked on the Cochin thread before, but after I questioned Steve about his new avatar, he said he would post more pics on this thread~~~so I just had to come look. That is the most beautiful coloring on a bird that I have ever seen!!!.....and it's not even a Silkie
Here is Brown Red Frizzle roo- he is a little heavy on the color. I had this roo over my hens and have hatched several to get some Frizzles started. Then he might visit my Lemon Blue girls for some Frizzle Lemon Blues.

Glad you posted bigger pics of him - I noticed him immediately the other day when you changed your avatar. Sweet! I read something very interesting just the other day regarding Brown-Reds, in the ABA "Cochin Bantams" booklet that I got. The booklet was published back in 1945, but it is very interesting reading. This particular article was written by a Mr. Jack Stahl, regarding Mottleds: "My Mottled Cochins combine the blood Black Cochins, White Cochins, with just enough of the Brown-Red Cochin to cause the black and white colors to segregate."
