Hi,

I just stopped to say Hello.

I have just aquired 5 Cochin Bantams The roo is a splash the 2 hens are I am thinking a blue or a very diluted black. I have 2- 3 week old chicks that are splash. I am hoping the breeders here can help me in the color of the hens
Thank you in advance

This hen is technically blue birchen, with a gold base color. If your going for solid colored males, she's not a good choice. She will produce chicks with 'leakage'.

This one is Blue.
