Cochin Thread!!!

Thanks, they are still a work in progress.

ok, i'm sorry... but what is/was the project? what did you start with and what is your goal??
they are gorgeous birds as-is, but i'm curious what has gone into bringing them this far.

They are initially a BLB x Doerr GLC, the resulting offspring was then bred back to Doerr GLC, thus 3/4 Cochin, 1/4 project Brahma. They will be crossed back to GLC next year making them 7/8 Cochin.

Quote: ok, forgive my dense-ness. LOL BLB = buff laced brahma & GLC = gold laced cochin? so is the result going to be buff laced cochin?

Ok... does anyone here have red cochins? i've been looking at some locally, and they're more orange than red IMO... I thought they were supposed to be closer to a mahogany shade of red...

 

[Black Cochin Bantams]

The Millers in Missouri and Annamay are the best reds I have seen.Reds are not in great shape as a variety in my opinion . I am talking bantams. I don't know of LF Reds. Perhaps Bo

I was talking bantam myself. I should have specified.

I'll have to look them up i guess.

These are now 3/4 Cochin.

Great job, Clare!! I think they're gorgeous, and will be a welcome addition to the Cochin varieties!!

I just wish there were better typed GLCs out there to improve them with. Things would go faster.
