Post pictures of your Meyer hatchery Cookies & Cream chickens (Hens & Roosters)!!

I have a Cookies and Cream hen. Her name is Patricia and she's amazing. I ordered through Meyer Hatchery and was super impressed. All of my chicks were healthy on arrival and are thriving now at 6 weeks. I'll post a photo of her when I get a chance. She's so much fun and adds great spunk to our flock!
I was super impressed with Meyers as well, my splash Ameraucana from them turned out absolutely gorgeous with super fluffy muffs! The cookies and cream are just too cute, I almost want a second one! I'd definitely love to see a picture of yours when you get a chance. I can't wait to see what Molly looks like when she's full grown.
 
They're so adorable and have such a pretty mottled pattern! They're brand new to Meyer hatchery for 2022! I would say yes you do need a couple haha! They are definitely on the smaller side for a standard chicken, smaller than my splash Ameraucana and Polish so far. I am pretty sure they are half mottled Houdan but I am not sure what the other half is. I just love the little crest and muffs+beard though!
I wondered if they were a salmon favorelles crossed with a crested breed?
 
Do they have 4 or 5 toes? It looks like they have a single comb and pink feet.
Meyers says they can have either 4 or 5 toes but pretty much all of the ones I have seen online have 5! I have seen some with the single combs as well as some with different type of combs.
Heres some more example photos of the breed I found online!

I think you are right about they being mottled Houdan x Salmon Faverolles. Most of them have 5 toes and feathered legs. And they all look like a houdan with a single comb.
I love mottled Houdans and Salmon Faverolles so this is a wonderful combination haha. They are supposed to lay creamish colored eggs, which is also the color of a Houdan and Faverolles egg.
 
Seeing the combs above, I wonder if they have silkie in them too? The one pictured 2nd definitely looks like it has some silkie genes.
I thought that too until Lisa Steele, who partnered in the creation of cookies and cream, said that they weren't mixed with silkie. I have no idea where a walnut comb came from if they aren't mixed with silkie!
