Taken from the Dutch Cochin Club

This person who made this color is Mr. Christoph Sicking from Germany

He started in 1983 with a couple of more ore less patridge mottled from a breeder out of the former eastern part of Germany; Mr. Gottfried Pothig. They fell out of crossings made with black, white, patridge and mottled cochin bantams.

1984 crossed in a buff cochin bantam female with no succes. Better might have been buff columbian.

1985 crossed in a red cochin bantam female.

1986 crossed in a buffcolumbia male with a lot of white, from this cock 84 sons and dauthers and 259 grandsons and daughters were bred.

1987 and 1990 milles fleures booted bantam and porcelain (Jubilee ) orpington bantams were crossed in. This gave great problems in shape and the color didn't become better. Ground color varried from light buff till darkbrown.
In these years also some patridge was brought in, but this gamacolor gave many problems.

1991 a mottled hen and a buff cock with colored markings were brought in.

1993 from these animals the first cockerel was ready for showing.
Untill the moment they were recognised 1883 chicks were bred.

NOTE: The color of the footfeathers is not like in booted bantam. The feathers are brown with black and white markings.

1994,1995 and 1996 they were showed and judged and in 1997 they were recognised.

At this moment, 2001, porcelain cochinbantams are in Germany, Holland and Belgium in a good quallty. The youngest color could use some more breeders to help to give them the finishing toutch.
