Bantam What?

[Harmony Fowl]

This guy came out of a set of mixed hatching eggs and I can’t be sure what he is. I had him at a swap yesterday and heard lots of ideas. He got enough compliments and no sales interest (besides eating him) that I’m thinking of keeping him. What do y’all think?

He's possibly a D'Uccle

Not with waddles like that and no vulture hocks he isn't.

He looks like a mottled cochin

Thank you. Those are the small things I don’t even know to look for. Any further input is appreciated!

I don't know what he is but he's beautiful!

Calico Cochin.
Not mottled, with all that red in there. He really is nice.

Do you know more you could share or point me somewhere where I could learn a little more about the difference?

Well, mottled Cochins are black and white, splashed and mixed all around in there, like yours. But, they most definitely don't have red in them. Yours does, which points to Calico. They are lack, white, and red. Very pretty. I hope this is what you were asking...
