Bantam Cochin thread.

I have a question. Does each color of cochin carry its own color gene or when you breed them do they come out any color? If not, is there some sort of color chart to see the color variations for when you breed certain colors with certain colors?? Sorry, I'm just starting to raise the breed and I absolutely love them!

What color or pattern would this be called??

I got my first bantam cochin egg today! It's always exciting when you get your first eggs. I have two hens the same age that should be laying now so not sure who it is that layed the egg.

Any Idea what color my Em is gonna be?? We thought white but she has some black coming in on her feathers!

My newly acquired baby.I'm new to this. Frizzle cochin? A mix?

I had a pure yellow chick grow up to be a Mille Fleur. I think you'll have to wait a little longer, though.




He's the one on the left.

No, if you look on the first page of this thread, there are some pics of a splash cochin.
Unfortunately yours doesn't appear to be pure in either breed or color. Looks like a mix, maybe easter egger, due to the "muffs". Is she laying age? I would be curious what color her eggs are.
Either way, she is very pretty.

Hi, i wonder if anybody can help me please......I have a black and white mottled pekin hen and a lavender pekin rooster with a frizzled tail that are nesting at the moment. What can I expect from the two of them colourwise? Also, my buff pekin rooster has also snuck in a turn or two, so what would buff rooster x mottled black and white give me? I would greatly appreciate anybodys help, because if the babies are going to be "ugly" I might take the eggs before Doris (hen) turns broody! I am really after mottled chicks.

She is a mix, she also has a kind of long neck. I thought she might have some silkie, but there are no extra toes. Lovey is also taller in general than my other cochins and the feathering on her feet is not so thick as theirs. She also keeps changing color and patterning for about the 4th time since she was a chick in February.

She must be one of those barnyard chickens and she is a sweetie too.

Now laying cute little banty eggs.
