I got this sweet girl a week ago from a guy who had very little experience about chickens. He told me she was a "dwarf cochin" but im not so sure thinking he was pretty ignorant about chickens. She is petite , looks like a young adult. He has vulture hocks, feathered feet and single comb .Since feathers on her feet was cut, theres no way to tell how long was these feathers. Flies very well.
As charachteristics, she is calm and friendly around people but other animals gets her spooked easily. The is curious, very talkative (dont know if i spell it right :) ) and calm.

That would be my guess too. Maybe some OEGB in her. Possibly some Japanese bantam too. And a breed with feathered legs.
This is what a Bantam Cochins body shape should look like. He's also frizzled And kind of wet when this was taken so he looks very flat, but that's not important.

Where i live we do
Can I buy her? Please? Pretty mixed breed.
Sorry, she s not for sale :)

I think it could be part Cochin, but it's definitely not a cochin.
Maybe some OEG or Dutch bantam.

We dont have much exotic species here so japanese bantam and dutch bantam is very unlikely. But oegb is pretty possible if you ask me.

*exotic breeds
That makes sense
What color are her legs?
White, blue, or yellow?
 
Her skin on the legs are pale flesh- pink colored.
If not Dutch cross
Probably part Oegb then
They have slate legs, but slate and yellow are recessive so white legs
The dad is probably the Cochin if this is an F1 cross
Trust me on this one.
