MOTTLED QUESTION

[karint]

I want to buy some bantam Cochin. A local lady has black, mottled, lavender and blue hens and a mottled rooster. I only want mottled. What’s the chances that’s what I will get? Also if I breed a mottled hen to a mottled rooster will I get mottled? It’s a very new color to me. Thanks. Picture is borrowed from this website to keep my post from getting lost.

Mottled to mottled is mottled. The other colors won’t produce mottled offspring (unless they carry a copy of the gene).

Thanks so much that’s really helpful.
