Cochin? Light brahma? It just seems so much more feathered than the two partridge Cochins that I was sent. Also, I can't tell what kind of comb is coming out. She is about 3 weeks. Her shoulders are solid right now but I know she has a darker skin spot on both shoulders.

Both mystery chicks are the same age, 3 weeks. # 1 is a lot smaller. More yellow chest, legs and beak marbled.
#2 pretty large. Very black beak, legs. Gray chest.
They all came from mypetchicken. Could be English standard marans? Or black jersey giant?
I bought the rare breed assortment.
Thanks for your advice!!

Well, in my experience with Light Brahma, your chick seems to have a lot more leg feathering. So, I would lean towards Cochin, but I am not positive. The other two look like Australorp or Jersey Giant with their black legs. However, their eyes seem to be blackish, so I would say they are Jerseys. I was told Marans have white legs while trying to decide the breed of my Roo in my avatar.
 
Okay thanks. I figured so on the cochin, but wishful thinking for a Brahma:)
I think that the two black ones are different breeds. But I'm not sure. I have a third that looks exactly like #2.
I also read somewhere that Jersey Guants have yellow on the bottom of their feet. I thought #1 had that, but now I'm not so sure.
Australorp wasn't listed in the variety pack that I purchased but I would be happy with that!
Thanks for your advice:)
 
My brahmas didn't have the much feathering on the feet,so I don't believe its a brahma. Also my Jersey Gisnts were all black but maybe it's possible that u ahave one. Sorry couldn't be of more help.
