I don’t know anything about breed standards or creating new breeds, but those concept pics are gorgeous!

i think for the name im going with webster velder it honors the origins of its future creation and nods to my hometown

ive been researching breeds and there isnt a current breed that has what im looking for but this new creation does.

I think the idea is good, and your examples certainly look unique, but I'm not quite sure that kind of reversed blue laced red pattern is genetically possible.

I understand, but chat GPT is notorious for getting genetics wrong or not taking into consideration what's realistically possible and what isn't.

I still think you could try to breed something very similar, maybe something looking like a blue double laced cochin? I don't think those exist yet, and if someone has done it before, they're probably very rare. It doesn't have to be a proper Cochin variety per say, if you want to create something new, just the Cochin body type and feathered legs mixed with a blue double laced Barnevelder's pattern. I think those would look cool as a breed/variety.
Sorry, I'm just brainstorming here lol

Oh okay, I see what you mean. Out of curiosity, have you considered using Brahmas with Banevelders instead of Cochins? They also have soft feathers and feathered feet, but they're not as round and chunky as cochins. They're a little bigger too and have a more upright stance. Not that I don't think Cochins would work, I'm just wondering why not Brahmas.
