Cochin Thread!!!

[Painted Calls]

They're up! Your boy is blue. The red patches over the wings are a common cockerel trait.

Maybe I should have posted here? I'd really like some more eyes on this trio and let me know what you think of their confirmation

A cochin thread! Yay! . I love my cochins especially the bantams. They are one of my two favorite breeds.

I am curious to ask if you use the smooths from a frizzle mating?
or are you just breeding frizzle to frizzle?

the reason I ask is the feathers on the chicks look like they are narrow and tight
generally denoting frizzle to frizzle breeding

how long have you bred frizzles?

I bred frizzles Cochins for several Decades and always used my smooths from a frizzle roo to smooth frizzle females
a smooth is the straight feathered chickens that comes out of the frizzle to smooth matings

this helps promote wider frizzled feathers and does away with the extreme frizzles

give me a email and will tell you more on frizzles

I would love more information on breeding frizzles. My daughter has a couple frizzles and hopefully more ready to hatch in the next 3 days. My email is [email protected]. Any information you would share would be greatly appreciated.
