Cochin Bantams and Frizzle Cochin Bantams!!

[saltandpepper2]

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.

Alright, I was hoping that they wouldn't be pure black, maybe black copper? Thanks for the answer!

My little blue frizzle is on five eggs. Hopefully, some will hatch by tomorrow. She is in a pen with her mate, a smooth black cochin bantam. Is it ok to leave the two of them together with the chicks? My other chickens free range but these two are not fast moving and i was afraid of problems between the roosters.

Yes. Your roo should tend/protect the chicks as well. If you find he is aggressive to them while they are small, I would get rid of him altogether. Roos should not harm what they consider to be their own offspring.

I'm looking for some super show quality cochins. Where might I find some?
