At this point keep cochins out of the mix--you will be breeding back in traits that you want removed.

You can use smooth feathered bird who have all the right features to breed to, or silkies, realizing that you will get some silkie feathered birds. Looks like you are doing really well on type, so you may not need to use silkies. Although I would choose a good silkie over the black smooth feathered bird in the first photo.

frizzle X frizzle will give 50% of birds with one copy of frizzle. 25% will not have frizzling and 25% will have two copies (curly) Curly to smooth will give 100% frizzle. Frizzle to smooth will give 50% frizzle and 50% smooth.

Some people use curlies to great advantage. They are not always a liability, but they do require extra care.

I just wanted to say, I love my curlies. They’re my favorites. They make me pretty babies. This is Louie.
