Thanks, I won't show them then. I bought them to keep good color in my Splashes, not to show. Just wondered if they were close to the standard.

I can almost guarantee that they will turn out to be show quality. It just takes time on the mottleds to get their color in and they will also get more white each time they molt. A young bird that shows well will most likely get too much mottling and a lightly mottled youngster may grow out to be a beautiful adult.
these two pics are the exact same bird as a pullet and then as a hen (she's sunburnt in the bottom pic)

I used to have a pair of bantam spangled hamburgs. They were absolutely gorgeous! But they did not have the friendliest personalities. I thought then that I would love that look with a Cochin personality. Wow, what a beautiful bird. Thanks for sharing the picture.

very pretty bird, but is he a d'uccle? definately not the tail of a cochin and not likely to be bred out.

Shawna...............you're just messing' with us now aren't you? That's not even a Cochin, I don't think it's even a breed, it's just a yard bird. I wouldn't breed it to anything.
