What breed would I get?

So you might get a clean-legged chick from that cross? It might be possible, but I think pretty unlikely.

I have read of at least 3 genes for feathered feet, with two being dominant and one being recessive.

But every time I see photos of Cochin-cross chicks, they have feathered feet. So I think dominant genes for foot feathering are the normal thing in Cochins.

Interesting. Was wondering because from the eggs I hatched, 1 or 2 of some creme-brownish eggs looked like Cochin eggs, and I have no clue who layed them. I guess time will tell. Would be interesting to have a Cochin mix with no feathered feet.

I think it more likely that you have a mix of some clean-legged breed instead.
But yes, it would be interesting if you got a Cochin-mix with no feathered feet.
