Sjarvis00 is what you call Brown Red just Gold Based Birchen without any red enhancers?

I've heard the term Gypsy face before - but I'm not sure what it is?? Could you elaborate, please. Thanx!!

the dark color to the face and comb, bordering on black looks kind of purpleish, the earlobes will turn a purple color when in production. this is a common trait with birchen based (ER) birds.

I like the tiltle under your user name, is that easier than saying Laced Cochins?

What you descriced is a defect in Cochins. The face, comb, and earlobes should be bright red without any other color present.


You have a very pretty bird here. Brown Reds are very srtiking in color. These have actually been around for many years, just not many people breed them. Just as the Columbian or Buff Columbian. You birds cushion looks a little high for a Cochin, and it is not as round as should be, but if you have no intentions of showing her then you are all set. Her color is amazing, and should throw you some very nice chicks. Congrats.

Thank you Casey

She's only 6 months old and not laying yet so I'll be curious to see what she looks like next spring.

Sad thing though, she's my only bantam cochin so no offspring in sight...

I like her she is a very pretty girl.

I hatched this gal from shipped eggs that were from mille fluer bantam cochin project eggs. She is not laying yet. Not sure what I will do with her, but she is pretty.

Ok guys, wondering if anyone can tell me if this is indeed a brown-red cochin? I bought her from a lady yesterday evening who was selling her as a Black Copper Marans but she doesn't look like the marans i have. I thought she was cute though so I brought her home. Opinions?

Beautiful!!

Are the bottoms of her feet whitish pink or yellowish?
