bantam frizzled cochins-
my frizzies r one of my more fancier looking ones. they look like they went through a wind storm,lol. they r great for show, great mom's, good broodies. they r very mellow breed also but my roos tend to not like one another to much. always a dominant thing with them even as chicks at 3 weeks old they were chest butting. never had another breed do that so young. i can only usually keep 2 roos to this pen at a times and they have to be hatched and raised together or they fight. these carry the frizzled gene wich is a fun gene to work with. when useing birds to get frizzle gene for introduceing frizzle into other breeds cochins r the best to work with. they r easier to breed out the single combs and certain features than most other frizzle breeds and useing them u can add the frizzle gene easier. these r a very good breed if u have kid's, they r very mellow also with great tempermant. long as ur roos get along ur good to go with these. i've never had one agressive to a person but the love to make ya chase em,lol.
