Wow! Where was I when you posted these photos? Those are some very nice birds. Love that Mottled girl! And that first photo of the pullet is gorgeous!
The MF birds look like a nice program that is on going. Good color to work with and hopefully the type will come together as they mature.

AMY!!! You have a wonderful eye, those 2 mottled hens came from you! The MF rooster pictured also came from you. Haha!! He is producing some nice babies. I have several I am growing out. I just love the personality of the mottleds and love the MF project.

Critique please~ how is the type coming along on this guy (Blue Mottled)? I will be using him to darken up my Splash. Thanks

Is that faint barring in his tail or just the lighting?

Also his wings are set really low.

He has no barring, that is the lighting. I have seen his wings carried better, he was upset at being made to pose. Thanks

Ok, here are 2 of my mottleds:




And my blue hen Lucy:

Why are these pics not showing up??? I only see the top inch of each pic~ is anyone else seeing this??

 

[Coopa Cabana]

The pics come through both times for me just fine. I agree - his wing carriage looks weak.

I just started raising and showing bantam cochins, I was wondering for those of you that have raised cochins for year, do they usually have foot problems? Stub toes or missing toenails, etc? Thanks

I have seen him carry them a little better. Will it be a serious breeding problem (should I not use him to improve color/type in my Splash)?
