    Bobtail x MF Cochin Bantams

    I want as close as I can get to this color On a good typed Cochin bantam. Doesn’t have to be perfect, just pretty close. Chase was pretty close to what I want. Just needed to be shorter, wider, have a better cushion and comb, and all his offspring have orange eyes, unlike him. In color, he...

    Bobtail x MF Cochin Bantams

    I only know about color bases— theres Wild type, Wheaten, Partridge, Birchen, and Black (I think). Then I know some egg color genes. No idea about color color genes. Silver x red can make sexlinked, barred gene is also sexlinked. No, know barely anything about genetics. I do wish I could learn...

    Bobtail x MF Cochin Bantams

    You don’t think they have too little? I’ve had good birds in the past, but they passed away. They don’t have enough black, I was told. And others said to breed to mottled. Think the gene will just come out if I select? I’ll totally do that for a bit. Need to multiply in numbers first. All the...

    Bobtail x MF Cochin Bantams

    I heard you can tell genetic base by the chicks so here are pics of chicks: (I assume wheaten)

    Bobtail x MF Cochin Bantams

    I only have MFs currently, but will get some BQ or SQ Blacks this summer. They are wheaten based (yellow chick down) BT probably wasn’t a good idea. I just had remembered that MFs are made up of Buff Columbian x Mottled. Why wouldn’t you personally use Mottled...

    Bobtail x MF Cochin Bantams

    A little update here. So MattMcCammon doesn’t ship eggs or chicks, but he probably has birds readily available. Thing is, I’d probably have to drive all the way there, which is too far for me. In correction to my first post, I’ve compared my two birds to the ones closest matching the SOP on...

    Bobtail x MF Cochin Bantams

    I’ve been told by some breeders that their color is great. It’s just the flowering. They should get more as they age, though, and the mottled color can give too much black. I think it’s worth a try after I get things going with these guys seriously. But I know Matt mccammon has really good type...

    Bobtail x MF Cochin Bantams

    Okay thank you. I’ll probably breed Cashew and Casey, despite the risk

    Bobtail x MF Cochin Bantams

    So putting bobtails on a wheaten based color wouldn’t work. Do you agree with using Partridge perhaps?

    Bobtail x MF Cochin Bantams

    Think if I culled the ones without flowering and with leakage, I’d be good to breed back to the rooster? And do you know of any other colors that could do just as well but are easier to obtain?

    Bobtail x MF Cochin Bantams

    Wonder if there’s another way to improve type like the Bobtails could (Think mine need improvement?)

    Bobtail x MF Cochin Bantams

    It would probably be difficult to get my hands on these, but if I did find a good quality one, would it be worth it? Or is there a better recessive color I could use to improve and increase instead? (Most Bobtail roosters aren’t the best quality, as I’ve seen. But the females look okay for the...

    Bobtail x MF Cochin Bantams

    I’ve been thinking about trying to save my MF Cochin Bantam line for a few months. It sounds like I’m a breeder, but all I’ve done is got some and bred them to keep the line going. But now I only have a rooster and a hen, but they’re siblings. The hen isn’t very good quality, but the rooster is...
