Please pardon the mediocre shots here... But I wanted to take a quick minute to show you the barred cochins we are borrowing from a wonderful breeder, Bryant Helvey. Working with skilled breeders like Bryant is such a privilege and a treat. Bryant keeps many colors of bantam cochins and has been working for quite a few years to improve pattern and type in many of them. I got my gold and silver laced varieties from him, and together we are working on improving pattern and type in both. It will be a years long process, but interesting and rewarding nonetheless. Lucky for me, that these barred look so great already, now it's just time to hatch some chicks!!
