This is a little Cochin chick I got today. The dad is lavender and looks to have the isabella partridge markings. Mom looks to be a silver laced cochin (maybe silver partridge? I have a hard time telling since some partridges I've seen have lacing and others don't) - just googled it actually and she looked like a "Silver penciled cochin".

So I'm wondering what this little chick might be. She looks like a lot of pictures I've seen of partridges and laced chicks in both the silver and gold variety, and I cannot tell for sure. Earlier in the darker lighting I thought she may be gold lace (I now know penciled not laced). But now I feel like she may be partridge and maybe silver. I just cannot tell.

Also, if anyone has pics of an adult that looks like this, that would be awesome

update.... in case anyone reads this later or has commentary. I am looking at her wing tips and comparing that to color patterns and blue laced is the closest I've seen to what she is
 
What is SP? And yes but the pics aren’t the best. They were taken at night. I saw the parents in the day today and they looked a bit different. You can’t really tell the daddy roo is lavender with cream in the photo

Looks like it has a beard. The pattern suggests partridge or SP.

Can we see pics of the parents?


(is SP speckled?)

The hen/pullet there looks like an SP bantam Cochin, if that comb is a single.

The rooster/cockerel looks like a mixed breed.
