Hello,

Have you ever wondered?

I have three blue Cochin's.

I think it is funny how one is white\blue,
one is all blue and one is black and their the same breed.

If a white Cochin hen and rooster breed,
is it possible to be all blue or black?

I always think of that.

Cochins come in almost all color- they can even be barred like a barred rock. I don't know anything about the color genetics behind them but, if you post your question at "What breed or gender is this." Someone will be likely to explain it for you.
 
A little late to reply, but I think the info's relevant, if you're still interested:

If they were all sold as blue, then your white is actually "splash" or true blue. Your "blue" blue is a combination of the two.
Splash = (bb).
Black = (B/B)
Blue = (B/b).

If you breed a black and a splash together, you'll get 100% B/b.

Breed a splash and a blue, you'll get 50% B/b and 50% b/b

Breed a black and a blue, you'll get 50% B/B and 50% B/b.

But if you breed splash and splash, you'll get 100% b/b
 
My first cochin does not sound like a normal chicken. Sounds like laryngitis. Is that normal in a cochin?

Not sure if I can be much help, and this may sound weird, by any chance does she sound as if she were laughing? I have one that sounds like a deep laugh.
