Cochin cross

[Mihai]

Hi.I have some cochin bantam and i want to cross them with a breed to get them smaller and keep that rounded shape of their body and tail feathers.Some ideas?

I was thinking of seramas

Seramas don’t have the round looking body that Cochins do. I have a serama silkie cross and she has a serama tail. You may be able to do a cross then breed back to the Cochins. My serama silkie is also closer in size to the silkies.

There is guy on internet from my country and crossed the cochin with another breed and got it smaller but he doesnt want to tell with what he croosed it just if i buy some of this cross from him


Here is a picture of them:

Some chabo?

The body shape usually takes after the mother more so I would recommend the Cochin be the mother. Japanese bantams might be a good idea!
