Cochin Brahma cross

[big medicine]

Not to my knowledge, purely roll of the dice.

It looks like they both have pea combs but the pure brahma chick and the brahma/Mille Fleur chick look like they have single combs :/ ?

 

[Violetsfeathers]

One of the chicks is definitely a boy

 

[Violetsfeathers]

All the chicks have pea combs

 

[Violetsfeathers]

The boys look like they have a mix between a pea and single comb, the middle row is really tall.

(btw this is same chicken)

I think they are... 8 weeks old now?

This is his sister

I'm going to post updates once in a while in case anyone has questions about Cochin/brahma crosses again.

I don't think I ever posted pics of the parents.

They grew up into this. We had to sell the boy although I would've loved to keep him he has a good home. And the girl is the only one of the four chicks that we kept.

In that case the "Brahma" parent did not carry two copies of pea comb as a pure bred Brahma would.

Pea comb is dominant over single comb. A bird with a single copy of pea comb will still have some form of pea comb, but only half of it's chicks will receive the pea comb gene. The other half could be single combed, depending on the genetics covered by the dominant pea comb, and the genetics of the other parent.
