So we have a pretty eclectic mixed flock of 9 chickens total. My GLW pullet is actively laying and is often mated by our Black Splash Cochin Bantam rooster. If I were to hatch those eggs at some point, what kind of chicken might I get? Anyone have any crosses like this?

I posted this in the Egg Hatching forum and someone suggested this might be a better spot.

Thanks in advance for any input! :)
 
Following. Love the idea of Blue chicks, wondering what size chicken would result. Am I correct in reading that the GLW is standard size and the Roo is a bantam?

A sie between the Wyandotte and Cochin. The chicks would have feathered legs and (if the Wyandotte is homozygous for rose comb) rose combs.

Correct! GLW is standard and Roo is a Cochin Bantam (but he's about the same size as the GLW). The GLW has a beautiful rose comb, she is such a pretty girl! They are about 6 mo old at this point, just FYI. If we decide to hatch some of these eggs, I will be sure to update and let you know what we get! Maybe I will post pictures of the happy couple so you can see what I am starting with.
