I got 4 frizzled cochin bantams back in May, 2 black, 2 white. One white is most definitely a frizzle, the other most definitely not, very soft and smooth feathers. My black ones are very different from the white, and as I was looking at them today, I am pretty sure I figured out the problem. Dark skin, soft fluffy feathers that are just starting to even grow, not even a hint of a single comb forming, extra toe....am I right in thinking that I have black silkies on my hands??

Could you post pictures? They could be Silkie/Cochin.

They look like Silkie/Cochins to me. They could carry the frizzle gene if one parent was a frizzle. They are super cute

Ok, great! Thanks!! It all started clocking this morning as I was really comparing them. They are more like my silkie l, and have virtually no traits of the cochin!

Hi,

I'm likely going to be getting some bantam Cochin chicks soon, and I just had a quick question. Just how big will they get? I was thinking two pounds, but I really don't know.

Thanks! I appreciate it.

I bought this hen being told she was a dark brahma bantam, but to me she looks like a bantam partridge cochin. any thoughts???
