I Like Turkeys
Crowing
Hello! I have a small number of cochin bantams I’m wanting to breed. Problem is, almost all of them are different colors. I have a partridge hen, 3 red hens, a red rooster, mottled rooster, and a blue rooster.
Does anybody know what i’d get if i crossed them together? I assume red to red will just make more reds, but red to partridge? or red to blue or mottled?
Does anybody know what their genotypes are, either? I’ve been told the blue and mottled are E with Ml; then respectively with the blue then mottled genes for the different ones, but what about the red birds? what genes do they have?
Here they are-
none of my red cochins are pure cochin; two have muffs/beards and one has a crest;
