Black Cochins The Hen Is But Roo ?

If he is a black - he has lots and lots of leakage - not something I would use in a breeding program.


Did you see pictures of the parents? Sometimes a hen can "mask" the leakage and it shows up in her sons. (I am sure that wordage is incorrect - but I am just learning about genetics)

No i did noy see parents saw lots of pics but she had all kind of cochins.

That is a black, it just has a colossal amount of gold leakage!
