hey Michelle,I have a PEKIN BANTAM questions
1.)If you have a Frizzel Pekin Rooster and you give him normal feather hens what do you get?
2.)If you have a Lavender Pekin Rooster and you give him white pekin hens what do you get?
Also does anyone have blue mottled pekins? I have only the one hen.
Just want to say it is great to find SA people on BackYardChickens.
You should only ever cross frizzles with smooth feathered birds. And then you should get a 50/50 ratio out, half of each.
As for the lav X white.
If you birds are dominant white, then the offspring will be white with colour leakage(splotches of colour coming through)
If they are recessive white then they will be 100% black.
See here for the difference

Most South African Birds are dominant white, but i have seen quite a few recessives around too.
My friend and breeder Hendrik here has some beautiful blue mottleds, it is a great colour
