Hi punk-a-doodle,Any member is of course free to start a new thread at any time.
Cochins have major cuteness factors going for them already, I can definitely see these little guys being a hit for hobbyists in the backyard. Very happy that temperament is a major factor for you, so those baby dolls can match their name in personality. I may have missed them, but are there any photos of adults? I can't wait to see those! I love project birds...including he muttiest of mutts. I think it is so positively neat to see people trying to breed towards a goal, whether to fit a personal need or desire in a bird, or to appeal to a wider audience. Think these guys have wide range appeal. <3
There are pics of the adults on my website that show comparison photos of my "Baby Dolls" next to my regular sized bantam cochins. There are close ups of their faces as well.

I'm going to try to get some photos taken and posted of the offspring from the parents "Levi and Rachel". They are very small, and in fact I think they are going to be even smaller than Levi and Rachel. It is too early to tell what they will weigh. I haven't weighed them yet, but they are as cute as can be. I am really happy with the body types I am getting on the hens especially. Some of the roosters still have a bit of work to do on feather color distribution and some other small details. All in all, I am really tickled at the way they are maturing. Their personality is very sweet as well.
Thanks for looking at my babies! Here is the close-up of Levi and Rachel. I'll post another photo in this thread to show the comparison to the regular bantam cochins. There are a couple of other hens with Levi also. Renea and Lisa. They look like Rachel.
