Cochin Bantams and Frizzle Cochin Bantams!!

[Marthab1953]

Ok I have a question. I have a close friend of mine who has a frizzle white roo and a black frizzle roo. She offered to let me borrow a roo for breeding purposes for next years chick season...
Which rooster do you guys think I should breed with leia?

Pretty hen you have!

Hi all, I have a show silkie rooster - he is black and a white bantam cochin frizzled hen. He fertilized then hen and we hatched the eggs. One of the hatched eggs was from my black silkie hen. We lost that baby - so sad. It looked like it was going to be a paint. The five sizzles that hatched are two what appear to be lavendar






s?, one black and two partridge. One of the lavendars is frizzled, all others are smooth feathered. I need homes for the boys. Can any one tell me if they think these two are boys for sure. We've named them by order of hatching. So here are # 2, the lavendar, and # 3 a partridge. They are all very tame and are being hand raised in our house.

I live in Southern California - Chino Hills, if anyone is interested in a chick. Just want good homes for them.

Here are all 5 babies about 9 days ago.





These were taken on 11/29/16 - hoping the black, light gray smooth feathered and one partridge are girls. May be too young to tell. They were hatched beginning on 10/28/16 one day apart. An old silkie hen went broody on me and she hatched them naturally so # 1 is 4 days older than # 5. Once they hatched, I brought them inside. They are so sweet. This is a girlfriend holding them so we can take photos.

So I hatched my bantam eggs earlier in the year ( I guess October?) and ended up with a blue frizzle rooster! I have no idea how lol. He has some gold in him too on his neck feathers and saddle. Is that appropriate coloring for a blue or would he be considered something else? I really need to get a picture of him. I don't have one yet!

I am awful knowing the color standards. There are so many! But I would think posting a pic might help others who are more knowledgeable answer better.

A pic would be great, but blue should not have any gold leakage. Maybe its wheaten or partridge?

My little one is feathering in nicely at 15 days. Feet feathers are amazing!
