    I think there's some brahma in the wood pile! Thoughts on breed/ purity

    Idk why I didn' think wyandotte, I thought that they maybe had been breed from cochin-brahma back to Cochin, mostly because of their size. They are a lot bigger than any of our other bantam Cochin. I easily overlooked the comb and wattles due to how well developed their plumage is and awesome...

    I can' wait until the plumage on his feet grows back out to where it was before, much like his progeny's is. He got his all muddy and broke quite a few off getting in and out of the tree

    Happened upon him and a clutch mate, that's also a rooster, a the monthly swap about 1.5 years ago.

    Its kinda both, it has 3 rows, albeighit a bit lumpy 3 rows and comes back to a point. It looks like a "swollen" and lumpy version of our LF light brahma's comb.

    That's why I think he has a bit'o bantam brahma, or the like, mixed in with his predominantly Cochin body

    I'd hope so, he gets to spend most of his time inside with my wife and gets fed everything that we eat and has his picks over any of the girls!

    Here is said offspring. Straight comb, not a full even comb, but coming from a silkie and the above rooster it's kinda amazing .

    Thanks a ton! He's my favorite chicken out of them all! He's for sure the most personable

    Yeah, figured so. There is so much cross breeding, then breeding back to the standard to get colors or other traits of other breeds into a different breed and sometimes odd genes pop through now and again. I think there is something with silkie combs as a vague example. It is weird that we bred...

    Here's my little dude! How often does a Cochin show combs other than straight? All of his offspring have straight combs, but he's got a pea-ish comb. What are your thoughts?

    We've been trying to ID what breed this hen is

    The oeg and rosecomb went broody and hatched them out a couple weeks ago. Now the 2 serama hens are sitting on a clutch even larger than the last one and are starting to ostracize the teenagers and the rosecomb hen so we moved them out with the rest of everyone. On a side note; What do you think...

    Well cool, so we have 4 splash rosecomb-serama mixes, 3 with rose combs the other has a straight comb, 4 that are full serama and 3 that are serama- and what we think to be silver duckwing Old English bantam.

    We've been trying to ID what breed this hen is

    We'e been trying to figure out what breed she is. She looks like a splash Rosecomb. She is a little bit larger than a serama rooster, but not by much. Does anyone have any ideas on what she might be? She is really hard to catch being still enough for a good picture and gives the autofocus a...

    Hermaphrodite chickens?

    A hen that has adrenal insufficiency, their ovary is damaged or develops a cyst or tumor , or a few other medical conditions can and will "change sex". Hens only have 1 working gonad on their left side and while young it develops as an ovary but the right gonad stays dormant and undeveloped. If...
