Brahma or Cochin

[tn_artist]

Is there a way to tell if a feather legged chick is a Cochin or a Brahma, or other feather foot? I know silkies have black skin and five toes, but there rest are confusing.

Cochins have single combs, and brahmas have pea combs.

Do you have a chick that you aren't sure of? You can try posting a picture here to see if someone can help.

I actually have several. To start: we have four or five like this one. How dark their backs are varies, but they seem to not have the short, roundness that the ones I believe to be Cochin have.

That's a mille fleur d'Uccle!

A few others:
1 & 2 I have no idea what this one is. It stands like a D'Uccle, but had no cheek puffs.
Pictures 3 & 4 are a frizzle, but are all frizzle Cochin?
Next, I'm hoping is a porcelain D'Uccle, but I have no idea. Picture 5
I also have a few silkie and several, I assume, Cochin (last two pictures.)

I think you are correct. The first one could either be a d'Uccle or a booted bantam, which is basically a d'Uccle but no cheek puffs

Thank you! It has been so very long since I have had chickens. I don't even remember if I ever knew that. Yay! Cochin!

I am so excited! I love Cochin and D 'Uccle!
