I figured it might be fun to have a thread for my BCs since I decided i want to start breeding them. So here are my birds:
My boy:

Angel, my first BC:

The rest of the flock consists of 3 of the blue rooster and Angel's daughters, some that I got from hatchery's, and one that's kind of an oddball that was the only one to hatch from some eggs I ordered
One of the daughters:

I think I will focus on breeding for body type more than color for right now. But I probably need to add more birds that aren't related to the flock.

And I would love it for other breeders to share their birds!
 
Hey Fluffy! Haven't seen you in awhile. Bantam cochins are my favorite breed. I currently have a partridge rooster named Storm and a black hen named Mama (named for her broodiness). I will hopefully also have some bantam cochin chicks in a few days that Mama is hatching.

I will try to get a better picture of my rooster soon.
 
I think I have pretty good type gonna keep back one of the boys that hatch and breed him back to his mom and girls with best type and breed back to dad.
 
Right now I'm trying to get whatever I can to add to my BC flock, but next year I will start building new pens so I can breed for color. I really want to add blues and whatever color of frizzle to my flock, but like I said I'm gonna try to get whatever I can.

Nice! I do sell/ship eggs, if you wanted some. Seems like everything hatched so far has been black, blue, or blue-ish, but they have mixed color genetics. I have gotten a few frizzles
What color is the bottom one in the 6th picture?
Silver penciled
Im hatching put Mottled Bantam cochins right now! Im hoping for atleast 2 of the 3 to hatch! They are so cute!
Best wishes! Post pics when they do please!!!
 
I have eight of them I got from TSC so not Show quality or anything. I was against feather footed chickens ... but I got them anyways. I kinda love them now. I have Gold laced, Silver laced, Blue, Black and Splash. I need to get some pictures of them but I'm kinda waiting till I get my other pens up and get my bantams separated from the LF grow outs I have.
