Buff Columbians are a recognized breed, I'm not sure if there is a mix that you could put together to produce them, Craig ( Black Cochin Bantams) might know a little more on that subject. I have a little Buff Columbian hatching right now in the incubator~ My hens are starting to lay

You can get buff Columbian by:

1 Buy some from a breeder

2 Breeding Buff Columbian to Buff Columbian

3 Breed a Buff Columbian male to a Columbian hen. Cull all males then breed back best pullets(f1 will possibly/probably have some white feathers) to Buff Columbian male.

4 Buff on Columbian. Cull ,repeat until you get it right.This the slowest and most expensive way

My Frizzle Cochin, "Shimmer", who is way too sexy for all ya'll and really should have a red carpet. :) This is my first hatch and I adore them all...I am a new "Crazy Chicken Lady".



Tell me what my color is 'cuz Momma has no idea. lol (again...a noob)


 
I have a question. I am getting very bad fertility from my Cochin pens. I heard you trip around their vent so the males can do their job. So do I clip the males and females? How much do I take off?
This is one of my young breeders.
