Cochin Thread!!!

Can I get some more opinions to be sure? I hope it is a GL, I don't like the Partridge color. But it is what it is. Just want to know. Thx

I agree it is most likely a Partridge. I also agree with Nancy that when you get a good Partridge it is a stunning beautiful bird.

It will be up for sale in a month or 2 when I can tell the color and sex. I might wait til I can tell type though. In case it is a top notch bird.

Mandy, the 2 brownish chicks are Mille Fleurs. I have no laced or columbian birds.

well, a laced LOOKS like a laced. here's a pic of a chick from the same breeder (silver laced). at 4 weeks and at about 4 months old.



the lacing is usually pretty obvious.

Congratulations!!

I got home about 5 minutes ago. Over 400 miles with the last 50 in a driving rain.
A Mottled hen was Best Variety, Best of Breed and Best Featherleg. Matt McCammon had Best of Variety and reserve Breed with a Black Cock bird. Shari had Reserve Black with a pullet. She also had Best hen. I had the Best Black Cockerel, 2nd best Black Cock bird and Black Hen. I didn't have any competition in Birchen, Columbian, Partridge so I got BV in those.

Did you enjoy the show? Wish I could have met you. I had a great time considering all the rain.

That makes sense. I think I will wait a few months before I sell it in case it is a good specimen.
