I received this boy as a gift. I don’t know anything about the Columbian gene and there doesn’t appear to be many Columbian Bantam Cochins.
Should I try and find a Columbian girl? Or possibly breed him with the other Cochins I have? ( mottled, black, calico)

Hello chicken peps I have these three chickens that I thought where splash but after talking to another breeder may be instead Colombian silkies. I don't have any in my breeding program. I have cream, blue partridge, partridge, buff,blue, white and black. What do you guys think, Colombian? If I...

With my current set-up, I have a Light Brahma Rooster over all my hens. Last season I hatched about 8 chicks which all still hold onto the Light Columbia pattern very closely, with the exception of one chick that looks like she got a bit of the dark brahma's pattern just a bit (Currently don't...
