Do you think a LF Braham can sucessfully breed with a Bantam Cochin.

You could always do AI... they say its pretty easy..

i'd be worried about him hurting her back..
i just had a hen with what i think was a spinal/back injury..i think from my big roos on her....

LOL, I don't think I'm that deperate, I would probable try a cochin roo on LF hens first.

I'll just give my experience:

My production (hatchery) Brahma was able to breed any female. Then again, I do not have any bantams. My Langshan male from exhibition stock cannot breed the Leghorn hen. He tries but his body is simply too large to succeed. He tries, mounts and everything, but the parts just don't match up.

yes if the parents are good quality there babies will ber good either way it should breed and be crossbread

I am going to be breeding a bantam Ameraucana to a brahma in the next few weeks I am hoping that I wont need AI to do it, maybe just a step stool for the roo

 

[RAREROO]

LOL What are you trying to get from that cross?

I played with the genetic calculator a bit and in several years I am hoping to make one

My big BR rooster successfully breeds my little silkie all the time... though I am a little worried he might hurt her back.

I've never even seen a genetic calculator, if you played with it why not just get that one, or the owner doesn't want to sell? I hope your handy and good luck making that calculator.
