Mille Cochin Info

[Msbear]

Hey Mike!

Im still hanging in here. I have been dealing with infertility then trimmed then had incubation issues. I culled two great roos because I had a bator full of eggs... well, when I only wound up with 15 or so birds from each of those I wanted to

But, Im back and on a mission. I have two boys I am keeping an eye on and a handful of pullets. I would love to find a show quality roo with some sort of MF color to cross my girls onto. Of course, there is nothing but Mottled. I do have some of those partridge crosses growing out nicely. These are actually crosses that were put back to MF. They are displaying lots of vibrant color but, are dark and the pattern is sort of muddled. BUT, this year is better than last year and that's what counts right?

post some pics of what you're working with... let's see whatcha got!

Lynne, I would love to get an update on your babies from Manolette too

Amy, she's a beauty.

Thanks, Erin. I don't call her exactly beautiful but she's helpful in the breeding program. I have 6 breeding pens going but not every one produces the same. I like to try patterns together and type together and see what all I can get from the pens.

Even with many beautiful birds I still struggle to get the perfect ones. It is nice so many of us are in this together!

I have a few cockerels to sell. Not sure of their quality, but here they are.










And my breeder Roo "The Tidy Bowl Man"

He's moulting right now.
