I do think that's what it is. Partridge birds are total eye candy, and add in the cute factor of the bantam and the rounded fluffiness of a Cochin, they're just adorable
.
One nice thing about the partridge color is the ability to sex them by color as they feather in. Males get black feathers on the chest, females get salmon/reddish brown. Plus, the male bantam Cochins tend to get larger redder combs pretty early.
If it's a pullet, she'll probably be a good broody momma if that's something you're interested in for next year. They're decent enough layers, small off white eggs, but of course they quit laying when they're broody.
