LuvChicks8, have you been down to Shay20's place in MA? she has a bird that is chocolate and carries the gene too! though it is not a cochin a few of us that go to her swaps have suggested that she try and cross it into her cochins! i've heard that is the only way to work that chocolate gene into any breed so i am hoping she has good results if she tries it! i keep drooling over those orps too!

We also need to remember that the Aussies and Europeans quite often look upon their birds as 'ugly'...the Few Aussies I converse with on WAPoultry blog are so super envious of our marans here in the states, and although they love their Cochins (Pekins) they want what we have and we want what they have...human nature international !
I just don't think anyone should discourage anyone from trying something new! Look at the Mille Fleur Cochins and how popular they are! ( I have some of those too
). I was very appreciative of the email I recieved from another member giving me encouragement.
You are so right there !
You go and put yourself to whatever your heart leads you to, in everyway about your life~

You know how there are those signs that say "Cat's are like potato chips you just cant have one" I think it should say "Chicken's are like potato chips you just cant have one"
