Pekin is another term for bantam cochin in the UK (or breed of duck in North America) Although some sources say they are another breed yet they don’t have bantam Cochins in Britain but the pictures I see of pekins look like bantam Cochins to me.

What kind of bantam did it turn out to be? And is it a pullet or cockerel? I just got one from tractor supply that is identical, wings and all, and I’m dying to find out what she (hopefully) is!Any guesses on this little guy? Smaller then the Silkie, almost half the size! Was in the assorted bantam bin. My guess was either a D’uccle or booted bantam but I’m not sure? Tiny little thing!
Im pretty sure it might just be a cochin.What kind of bantam did it turn out to be? And is it a pullet or cockerel? I just got one from tractor supply that is identical, wings and all, and I’m dying to find out what she (hopefully) is!
Here are some pics of my mystery bantamIm pretty sure it might just be a cochin.Looks a bit different then my other cochins. I’m pretty sure at this point it’s a hen, no growth of her comb or any wattles coming in. She’s heavily feathered on her feet, and just all around, and beautiful! I’ll take pictures later.
