Are Naked Neck Cochins popular in Nicaragua? I don't think anyone here in the States has them.

No... in Nicaragua we have mutts of mutts, rarely anybody keeps a pure breeds, that's why I can't find another cochin and I am forced to out breed her to a different breed so I can breed her sons back to her...complicated I wished I live in Europe where they have all sorts of colors...like chocolate...

That's really a shame, but didn't she come from the breeding of a Turkin to a Cochin? (both are purebred).
Are you going to try to keep the NN thing going or just the Cochin part?
And yes I agree with you about Europe, WOW!!! they are beautiful.

I don't know how she was Made, but she looks about 90% Cochin to me..

there are 2 things I want from her...

1. to get to at least B3(back cross 3rd generation to her) to get the Pheno/Geno type stable enough(enough breeding stock) for the second thing
2. to create a tester line of Di(Dilute) and Cb(chanpagne Blond) found by Brumbaugh and Hollander in Buff Minorcas, but are Powerful Diluters and at least Di also a Eumelanin Restrictor...
