Cochin Bantams and Frizzle Cochin Bantams!!

[TeaChick]

im thinking of naming my small funny, bossy sounding, very wide, little blue rooster king henry viii (previous english king)

I'm 'enery the eighth, I am; 'enery the eighth I am, I am. I just got married to the widow next door; she's been married seven times before. And every one was an 'enery <'enery!>. She wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam <No, sir!>. I'm her eighth old man, I'm 'enery; 'enery the eighth I am.

Read your first post:

"Hi! I ordered about 9 frizzled assorted about 6 months ago. The females are about to lay and the males are already reproducing with the frizzled female that was already producing..."

That's called "breeding;" you most certainly are breeding frizzled to frizzled unless you didn't write what you were trying to say.

"I looked at my last batch of frizzles who are grown and there are two males in that batch who have this too."

It would seem, you are seeing the PREDICABLE results of breeding frizzled to frizzled, unless these are the purchased birds. Either way, use only smooth feathered birds with your frizzles. Complicating the breeding of frizzles is a gene or group of genes that modifies the frizzle gene. In other words, the frizzle gene may be present, but this gene or genes suppresses its expressing giving you visually smooth feathering (phenotype) that is genetically frizzled (genotype).

Dealing with my own two frazzled birds, it saddens me to see people breeding frizzle to frizzle. The birds really suffer.

Yup. This is why I thought you were breeding them.

I did not breed these I bought them from ideal hatchery and some from a local breeder. My males have more feathering than your female but they look similar

I understand that, but you have males and females. You didn't mention keeping them separate. My assumption was that you were keeping them together; keeping them together means that they will mate; then you'll have frazzles, and jajeanpeirre already posted on the frazzle thing.
My personal goal is to find smooth roos, smooth hens, and to only have frizzled hens (any frizzled roos will have to be culled in my flock).

i I am in love with Bantam Cochins AND the Frizzles. I have decided to get 2 of both. What I as asking as I am totally new ,is I am trying to find a good coop. How high can the house be? Will they walk the ramp ? Anyone have pictures of their coops I could see....thank you so much. Michele

check out my thread (link in my siggy); my Bantam Cochin Frizzle could get up onto the 2 foot side of my juvenile pen (original coop) to get out in the morning, but in the evenings, she had to go around the back and find something to lower to get up onto in order to get in.
A ramp would be fine.
They're very intelligent birds (well, my one is, anyway, I guess she could be an anomoly (sp), but IDK). Anyway, they'll figure out to go where you want them at night. When I built my chickens the new hen house, all I had to do to get all of them sleeping in there was to put my BCF in there every evening for two nights in a row. As soon as she went to roost at the original coop, I'd go out and put her in the new hen house; within half an hour, all the chickens were in the new hen house and roosting happily. Just two nights!!! =D
Okay, I'll stop now.

Here are my Fat Bottomed Girls, in shock at Texas' balmy 75F afternoon after coming from Upstate, NY, Friday. They even found some spring grass to eat. They'll feel more at home for a few days as temps plummet to the 20s. The pictures aren't good--late afternoon sun and shadows.

have an odd question for everyone, I'm going to try hatching eggs of frizzle Cochin bantams, since I'm having a terrible time finding the colors in my area, I may keep a rooster, I currently have 4 EEs, would I need LF Cochins, our would bantam be ok.what would be the outcome of breeding if they are kept together? And I have to be careful of frizzle on frizzle crossing as well right, I did scroll back and find the article posted, from what I read its straight with straight, or mixed, I just want to make sure I have healthy animals,

I breed a white frizzle Roo with my charcoal blue cochin bantam hen

I got 2 girl frizzles and a boy cream colored bantam not frizzle-y.

The inside of our garage burned last night along with my chicks too young to be out with my other chickens but too old to be in the guest bathroom in our house anymore.My hubby told me to get some more and I am desperately hoping someone can help. If anyone has calico, mottled, splashed, partridge, or unusually colored bantam cochin hatching eggs please let me know who and how much they want for them. I had some fairly nice chicks as I was just starting with the Cochins. I only have 1 now from chicks I got from the farm supply here as a pet. She was in my bantam pen outside with my d'uccles. I am not asking people to just hand me things, and I do want nicer than hatchery quality like I lost and colors that cannot be purchased from hatcheries. I don't show and never will, so expensive eggs from show birds I just can't do money-wise with all of the loss and damage we have here. We have insurance for the fire but not yet not sure how much they will cover but certainly not my chicks.
Thanks to anyone that can help!

Thats terrible, so sorry to hear about all your chicks.

Good luck finding hatching eggs! and I hope there wasn't too much fire damage.

Unfortunately lots. The walls were finished with the kind of stuff that didn't burn ...drywall?

I re-homed my roo and his sister. Kept little "Starlah" though.
