I think the white also. Is because they are the oldest, have been bred in greater quantities. Thus they are more lprolific in better quality. mes think

Cute.


I was reading something about Cochins and it seems that the black ones have better type than other colors. Why is it that the black always has better type? Is it because it's a common color and there are more birds to work with, therefore the blacks are nicer than others? What makes black so much more typier than others?

it easier color to work with, like whites white always have best type black usully 2nd

Interesting. I haven't found type has anything to do with colour. However, I am very pleased with the "type" in most of my B/B/S pens thus the "blacks" that spit out of there seem to have better type even if their black colour is inferior. Black is a tricky colour ....

I will be, but I think you already know that.

I have a very nice pair of "porcelain" from Catdance that I fully intend to move forward with - even if I am being pounded for it by the purist poultry folks that don't seem to think project colours have a place in Canada. Especially since we can't come up with a name for the variety ....

Who else likes "Wedgewood"??? Apparently "porcelain" won't fly with with APA because we lack mottled genes. Wedgewood was suggested as an alternative. I LOVE it. Would love to see some support to get a variety name going. "Self blue cream" won't fly, so I'm told, because it's too long. "Blue cream" is acceptable to the APA but that makes no sense genetically. Would love to see us get somewhere on a workable name.

Apparently the APA rejects the "porcelain" label because it is already approved in varieties that have mottling attached which we don't so porcelain is off the table. We have to come up with another name for our version of porcelain.
