Hey Josh and Bantyman!! gosh, it's been so long. I still have them and my project has taken so many twists and turns, it's difficult to believe it's been this long. I think I've made some wrong turns but... pretty sure I'm back on track I've always been a stickler for type so I am happy in...

They are pretty poor typed considering what a well typed cochin should look like. This guy below is a cross between a very nice well typed blue mottled bird and my mille fleur. I could still nit-pick (sp?) him to pieces but he's a heap better than what I had and loads better than what you...

well I am sorry I didn't sell you birds from my breeding pens... geez. good luck, Bobbi eta: ..and $45 for that pair is a steal. I started with birds with awful cushion too. But I spent lots of years working from that and constantly outcrossing for type. (buying from master breeders that...
