Self-Blue Cochin Bantams

[Funky Feathers]

I think he is saying they are not Lemon Blues, not that they aren't LF. It is the color he is questioning.

I wasn't saying they weren't large fowl. I was saying they weren't genetically Lemon Blue, just Buff X Blue crosses.

I think there is even a thread on Lemon Blue Cochins if you want to compare.

Tom,
I was kinda curious, I want to get a pair (or more) of SB's because I love the color. But I want to introduce the Frizzle gene into them, so I would have to cross them over Black Frizzles to do that. You had mentioned you wouldnt sale any of the birds you raised if they didnt turn out how you wanted. I was just curious if you would be willing to sale a pair or whatever one could get, even if they werent to standard? I was also wondering, you mentioned the birds feathers are a bit stringy in the cushion, would the introduction of the frizzle gene hender or better that aspect of the birds, or would you even have an idea? Just wanted to get your input on the matter, any info is very much appreciated. And the birds you have seem to be coming along very well. Maybe not very quickly, but then again, Rome wasnt built in a day.
