Cochin Bantams and Frizzle Cochin Bantams!!

[Loriemarler]

They will get more mottles, mottled cochins start off very white in the chest, and as they age they mottles will spread over most of the bird. See here for an example

That last pic is gorgeous!

Does anyone have Frizzle Cochin Bantam eggs for sale?

 

[Black Cochin Bantams]

I have about a 2500 sq ft yard that all my birds free range in. We live in a typical city neighborhood, so the wild predators seem to be few if any. I haven't seen any possums, or raccoons and our neighboorhood has a lot of mockingbirds that are very territorial and seem to drive away hawks and birds of prey. I also have a dog that hangs out with them and keeps watch.



This is she... What do you think? Frizzle cochin?

A dog with them is generally great protection

Need help from you Frizzle experts. Do yall give extra vitamins to your Frizzles? Someone asked if I did and I don't. Not sure If I should. Was told to do so cause "they are a fragile breed"....thoughts?

If you had to decide on a cochin rooster for your flock and the choices were a black cochin or a partridge cochin. Which would you pick. The girls would be a black birchen, a red, a black frizzle, a black, a buff columbian mix, and a couple other mixes. I would like very colorful chicks I am keeping a blue cochin rooster with the flock as well. I just need to decide on the second roo.

Black is so hard to not get in chicks if ur roo is black.

I have claicos and lots of them. I sell eggs as a calico mix of unique colors. When I had my black roo almost every chick was black. Even with other calico roos in the flock. I sold lots of eggs which most was black. I hatched almost 200 with almost all being black.
Needless to say... My black roo now has a new home cause is black gene was too hard to break. It was too dominant.

That is exactly what I was worried about. All black chicks would not be what I want next Spring.
