Odd colored bantam

mottled cochin. Cochins come in just about any color under the sun, barred, gold laced, solid colors and then there are frizzled Cochins.

Thank you, I was hoping someone would respond with genetics. I also have a solid black Cochin, except for a white wing feather on each wing. If I keep the mottled which is very black , I have , partridge, gold laced, silver laced, black, white, and buff females. But maybe I should ask what colors or pattern were used to create the mottled?

Probably, because black can be created from many combinations. It could be carrying other hidden colors.

Interesting, I did not know that. But then that is why I joined this forum. There are so many new breeds that have been created or imported .

There is a multitude of confusing genetics, if you really dig into colors. Some are simple, some are unbelievable! Lol
And to make different patterns, all takes specific genes, etc.

Glad you joined us!
