Crossing cross breeds.

Generally the closer feathering like the games is more dominant to the loose fluffy feathering of the cochin/pekin. They should have white skin, single combs, and those partially feathered legs. When you breed them together you should get more like them for the most part with some clean legs popping out. As for color of those chicks you should get atleast half cuckoo from them since the male is cuckoo and those pullets are black

So although the parents would both be soft / loose feathered the chicks are still likely to come out close feathered?

The cockerel shown isn't the one i am using as he is the brother of the pullets. And i sold him to a different farm.

The cockerel i am using has come out a mixture of brown and gold with odd splodgy feather pattern. So i'm guessing the chicks will just be a patchwork of different colours, primarily black.

Thanks for your input.

I'll hatch on some crossed crosses in the spring so people can see what the outcome was.
