Thanks! I will try that.

this is my bantam blue cochin pair I got from ideal poultry. I tried getting some shots were you could see the pullets color well, it's very nice, the lacing is like perfect. but I think she lacks in type, whereas the cockrel has better type, but his color isn't good, I don't think. They are around three months old. What do you think? Do any of you guys see any disqualifications?

if you're referring to my question about telling self blue splits from non-splits, i know that 2 splits will produce 50% self blue and 50% black split to self blue. my question was, can you tell visibly a black (that doesn't carry self blue) from a black split for self blue? the 2 i have are supposedly split, but haven't started laying yet so i have no idea...

No, no visible differences.

I don't see any DQ's from those pics, but they won't win anything at a show unless they are the only Blue Cochin bantams there. They lack in type, for one thing.

For anyone within driving distance and looking for something to do there is the Cochin International Western National Show at the Missouri State fairgrounds in Sedalia on Saturday. Should be some beautiful birds there. Enjoy! I entered 15 and 1 for my wife.
