Because of the dark red hackles, I am starting to think that the father may not be entirely Bootsie, but his uncle Red...

It could actually be either one.

Barred with Red Breasts. She's very friendly, & brave. I call her my odd chick. Her name is Pea.

Buffy. She's dramatic, hatched from a dramatic Orpington's egg, had a sweet loving father.

They are adorable!
I have one special project I want to pursue, Bootsie with a light Brahma!
I love the colors, and they almost resemble Bootsie when he was young!

Thanks. I have 2 more chicks to take pictures of out in natural light.

You should get a mostly pure bird with the back crossing.

That's fine!
So either Brahma or Cochin?

Brahmas have Cochin blood already. So your taking Brahma X Cochin, & Breeding back to Brahma. So you'll add on more Brahma genes. You'll be more pure for Brahma is what I'm trying to explain.

Brahmas were created by Breeding Malays, & Giant Cochins. The Bantams were made the same way, but with Bantam versions.
