Thanks! I posted on the thread.

Question: I have a bantam cochin pullet who didn't frizzle and she's only two months old. Will she stay normal, or will she frizzle the next time she molts? I've owned chickens for years, but I've never had this breed before? I'd appreciate any feedback.
Thank You,

Nope. Sounds like she is a smooth.

Mindylee is correct. You can see their feathers curling as soon as they start coming in. Welcome to the forum!

I have 3 bantam cochins unfortunately none are frizzle. 2 whites and a gold lace. My oldest 2 month old roo is going to have to go though. He attacks my hand violently every time I go to feed and water, and is attacking other chicks. I have a few roos in different breeds none but him have ever attacked me

I have a question about genetics, if anyone could help me. My white bantam Cochin rooster, got in with me breeding Mille fluer duccles, and I expected the odd off colored chick in me hatch... I did Not expect a pure black chick! Does that mean that he's ressesive white, hiding black? Here's the chick...

OOOh a genetics question. I am interested in some ones response to this.

He is recessive white correct. recessive white being a recessive gene will hide other colours if it is in its pure form (i.e two copies of the gene). Dominant white on the other hand would show up, even it is was was only there in its partial or split form.

The chicks will probably not be completely black as they grow, they will show some other colour leakage as they age, probably in the hackle and saddle feathers.

AndyCap,

I have a genetic color question not related to cochins. What are my possible color combos with a Silver Phoenix over a Salmon Favorelle? How do I figure that out?
