What color is this Cochin?





Thanks in advance!

Pretty! I'm not totally sure, and am by no means an expert on anything, but it looks blue barred to me. Is that even possible?

It looks like a dark blue to me. Very pretty, whatever it is!

Oh my goodness, I would be in heaven if this guy were blue! That's my favorite color and I was hoping for one in my assortment but didn't get any that were obvious blues. I thought for a while he was mottled and he does have a few white feathers in his wings, but this is what he looks like at 6 weeks old. I've heard that blues can have a few white feathers so I'm really crossing my fingers that's what he is.

mama24: I think blue barred is a color, but not likely on this guy. He is from Ideal Poultry in an assortment of bantam Cochins. They do offer barred cochins, solid blue, mottled, among a plethora of other colors.

He definitely looks blue. I love blue, too! Does he really look barred, or is it just the lighting in that one pic. I do think he's a boy, btw.

I think it's just the lighting.
