One of the most stunning and impressive breeds around and also wonderfully docile and superb for children's pets.
I've had them since the 1980's.

Taken in January this year of the young (about 6 months old) blue cockerel which I kept.
He has improved and got wider since this was taken.

And this year I am experimenting. I have put a spare blue cochin female in with the partridge trio in order to produce blue partridge. I love the colour so much in my Dutch bantams that I would like to produce it in the cochins too.

Lovely birds Wilt. How did you get the black with speckled white feathering on the cochins? Was it just a black x white cross? They are very attractive,almost jubilee- like.
