Good morning (here anyway),
I am working on separating my breeds, somewhat. In my cochin pen I plan to put a Silver laced cockrel, two silver laced pullets, one black pullet, two white fizzle pullets.
Can I expect any solid black or solid white chicks? Will there be a certain ratio of frizzled babies from the frizzled mamas?
What would happen if I change out the Silver laced guy with a barred cochin cockrel? Does the mother have to be barred for babies to be barred?
I don't need anything too scientific. I'm just curious about what would/could happen.
Thanks!
