Splash Mottled Cochins?

[blackclownfish16]

Just wondering what they look like. I can't seem to find a pic anywhere. These would be splash from blue mottled breeding. Thanks

Cackle Hatcheries has a Bantam Splash Cochin picture in their catalog.

It would basically look like a splash, if you look close you'll see mottling.

Thats what I figured but I didn't know how evident the mottling would be. Does no one have a picture?

Thanks

but those are just blue mottled right? I'm looking for splash mottled. Do they just look like regular splash?

Don't know if the mix exists, id think its one or the other, looks like blue and black mottles in the auctions

Well anytime you breed blue and blue you should get 1/4 splash birds. Maybe mottled cochin breeders only breed blue to black?

I doubt it but maybe.

splash and mottled are two different looks of plumage, there not the same
