How do you breed for a Calico Cochin?

[Lazy W Poultry]

I ordered Millie Fleur cochin eggs from a lady in California, and this is how my luck goes.

All were clear none hatched (OK I am fine with that, you know how shipped eggs are)

She sent more ( I didn't ask for them but she did anyhow, Thank You)

OK, 10 hatched all roosters (well that's the name of the game)

So we have some nice Blue & Black Mottled cochin hens that we will breed with one or two of these guys to see what happens.

Yeah, it's weird that their butts and necks are black, (well, one's neck is black, the other has a little white, but not as much as the rest of her) I wonder what gene is limiting the expression of the mottling on their necks and tails....

I think it has something to do with the buff columbian.
