    Do colors breed true in the bantam cochins?

    Do colors breed true in the bantam cochins? If so, what if you bred a red hen to a black cockeral - would you have a 50/50 chance of getting a red cochin? What if you factor in the birchen color and breed it to another solid color cochin? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
