which Cochins should I keep?

[AltonaAcres]

Hey! I have 7 Bantam Cochin Chicks/teenagers, who are all related, and 5 are roosters, so I obviously can't keep them all. I have showed bantam cochins for awhile, but I'm still learning about the breed standard. I also need help identifying one of my chick's colors. If there is anyone willing to help me decide which chicks are most show quality let me know, and I'll send pics as soon as it warms up here. thanks!

I breed my cochins towards the standard, so I hope I can be of some use once some pictures are up.

Here they are. Sorry, for the wait. The 1st two images are of a frizzled pullet, but do you know what color she could be? Maybe barred blue? Please be honest, I won't be offended. I know they aren't AMAZING, but just want to know which few are worth keeping. Last picture is of the dad of the two splashes, and the mystery color. Most chicks have 2 pics.

They definently aren't the worst Cochins I have ever seen. The second one may be a barred blue, I am not 100% sure though.
If I were you I would get in contact with Scott Adams. He is very knowledgable and has some great barred cochin. I am not sure if he sells anything but if you want to get into showing a breeding he would be someone that would help you to know and possibly get stock from

Ok! I'll definitely try and get in touch with him. I have a REALLY nice pair of barreds that I'd love to breed. They always look worse when there're young, it takes a while for them to fill out. Which do you think are worth keeping?

Does Scott Adams have a BYC account?

I like the birds in the 5, 6, and 7 pictures the best. He does not have a BYC account. I can get you his phone number later today
