LF black Cochin mother, with phoenix rooster? What to expect chicks to look like? Feather footed? Long tailed? I'm a genetics dumbo .

@The Moonshiner can help you out with the genetics part. I’ve seen a Phoenix-Easter Egger cross and the offspring had tails like a Phoenix, but the Cochin stance may complicate things.

I didn't take any photos of them!

I believe feathered feet/shanks are dominant. And of course... they'd have single combs..
that's all I know

What color is the male?

 

[BlackHackle]

Probably mostly black with average length on the tail, possibly some silver/red in the hackle and saddle.

What color is the male?

The male was gold and black, kinda barred looking. Im just wondering how the feathered feet and long tail will come into play.
