This is my silkie x Cochin
Dad was a purebred calico cochin bantam and mom was a purebred black Silkie. She has yellow skin, four toes, waddles, and a peacomb.
I have a color question and don't know who to ask!....... I have a Barred Roo (Hatchery) and a Red Colombian Hen (Home Bred)...... If I bred them together I'll get 100% barred babies right (or so I'm told)?? If I take one of the barred cockerels from the babies and breed him to another red...
How did you achieve the Porcelain Pekins?!!! Im from Minnesota USA. I have beautiful Mille Fleurs and Lavenders! I was told Lav Roo --> Mille Hen = Babies..... Then you take a pullet from the babies and breed to another Lav Roo.....?? Am I at least on the right path? We don't have beautiful...
I bought some cochin bantam chicks at the last swap. I noticed one has silkied feathers. She's very pretty! I have found out she is Purebred, She is a Silkied Cochin Bantam. Has anyone ever had one of these before? If I put her with my Cochin rooster I should get 50/50 silkied and normal cochins...
I have a question about colors?! I ordered Blue White top Polish. Are they like other blue chickens when it comes to the "Blue Gene"?....ex. Blue + Blue = Blue, Black, or Splash babies.
I was wondering.... I have a splash cochin rooster, a blue mottled hen, and a black mottled hen.... is there any way I might get splash mottled or blue mottled from them?
Okay so here's my plan (I'm a planner lol).... Splash smooth rooster--> black frizzle hen-------> (hoping for at least one) blue frizzle hen --> splash rooster..... Hoping this works :-) I know it will take awhile but that's okay.
This is why I love this website!!! I had no idea you shouldn't breed frizzles together! I have learned so much here about colors and genetics! No one around where I live will help me.... They want to be the only ones that sell certain colors :-(
Lol sorry I was looking at the wrong line on my blue gene chart....
(numbers are approximate, your results may vary slightly):
Black x Black = 100% Black
Black x Blue = 50% Black, 50% Blue
Blue x Blue = 50% Blue, 25% Black and 25% Splash
Splash x Black = 100% Blue
Splash x Blue = 50% Splash...
I have questions I'm hoping someone can answer!!!! I have a splash Cochin bantam rooster and a black Cochin bantam frizzle hen... How do I get splash frizzles? I know all their babies will be black... But what will happen if I breed the babies to each other or would I breed the frizzles back to...
