Bantam Cochin color genetics

[treichelpoultry]

Feel free to post any questions or information you have on the genetics of colors associated with Bantam Cochins!

My personal question, I am a young breeder of Bantam Red Cochins. I breed and show them in 4-H and at locally organized shows. I was wondering if anyone out there had information on the genetics pertaining to Red Cochins? I know quite a bit about genetics themselves, and am even familiar with some of the other color's genetics, but I have had trouble finding information on the reds. Thanks for any help and sharing your knowledge with me!
Also, I am looking for a Bantam Red Cochin cockerel/cock in the Pacific Northwest USA area if anyone has any for sale.
Thanks again!

Hi and welcome to BYC

The color genetics of bantam Cochins are the same as for all other chickens, so you may find some information on other breeds that will pertain to your birds. Have you looked at the Chicken Calculator? It is quite fun to play with.
