what would i get from breeding a white male bantam cochin to a black bantam cochin?
would it be show quality?

thanks
 
you would get black and as to show quality proubly not if you have hatchery chickens.
 
they are cochins from tom roebuck lol would they be all black

From a white x black mating you would get %50 blue, %25 black and %25 splash chicks.
As far as show quality, that would depend entirely on where the sire and dam came from. If they came from a private breeder that shows their birds, then there's a chance the chicks could be show quality or breeder quality. Hatchery parents, chances are you would get leggy, vulture hocked cochins that lack volume and depth.

Good luck with your breeding
