Cochin Bantams and Frizzle Cochin Bantams!!

[WestKnollAmy]

I bought some cochin bantam chicks at the last swap. I noticed one has silkied feathers. She's very pretty! I have found out she is Purebred, She is a Silkied Cochin Bantam. Has anyone ever had one of these before? If I put her with my Cochin rooster I should get 50/50 silkied and normal cochins right?

Silkied Cochin bantam is not a purebred. Bantam Cochins can be purebred and Silkies are purebred but not together. You may have a Silkied Cochin but it is a mix breed.

There is nothing that you can breed her to that will produce purebreds since she is not purebred.

I know she is not a pure breed but she sure looks like she would be soft to give chick snuggles, she is very lovely--enjoy her

I think a new Peppermint chick hatched today but not 100% positive as I didn't mark the eggs. But I have only ever seen her chicks with that chick color.

Chipper is on 11 eggs- 5 frizzles, 4 Mille Fleur, and 2 LF Lemon Blue. The eggs you see I just gave her today and she has every egg completly covered. I had 13 under her earlier this year.

she is probably a sub standard silkie as the silkie feather gene is recesive. you need to have two silkie feathered birds to create another silkie.

BUT that's good because it makes the chicks she may potential have stronger than those that are too close....and she is pretty!!

Quote: She isn't pure Silkie because she has yellow skin, no muffs and a straight comb. Put her with a Frizzle!!! You will get awesome adorable babies and possibly one like my PJ.
