Black chick feathered feet

[Alaska29]

I have a mixed flock, and my only feather footed breeds is a buff Cochin and two light brahmas. My current rooster is a white polish, but I think this baby is from my old rooster (don't know what he was). Anyways, he's black with a red face and feathered feet. Who's the most likely momma?

I would guess the buff cochin. But who knows.

What color was the old rooster?

This is the old rooster.

I think that rooster is an Araucana! (I think i spelled that right)

 

[CochinBeauties]

Maybe a mix, though.

The old rooster almost looks like a Buff Wyandotte, except for the black tail. But whatever he is, being that color, one of the Light Brahmas would have to be the mama.

If the Buff Cochin was the mother, the chick would be buff colored.

But since it's dark with the reddish face, it would be a sexlink from your buff rooster and one of the Brahmas. Therefore, the chick is a female. If it were a male from that cross, it wouldn't have any red on it.

I think the Polish roo is the father. There's what looks like a beginning of a small crest on that chick. [rounded fluff in front of eyes, like little spectacles, Usually the down there is smooth, not poofy]

Maybe the Polish carries gold laced under the white and he bred with the Buff Cochin.

That's definitely possible.

I think the old rooster may have had some Wyandotte, with that rose comb, but he wasn't pure. The color isn't really buff, it looks like a red bird and a buff bird bred....maybe a red colombian for that dark tail? Plus, the white/pink legs could mean Orpington.

but holy moly, check out those spurs
