breed help!! possible cochin? *UPDATED PICS*

[chickenofthesea]

after viewing tons of pictures, trying to figure out what this little chick was myself.... i have officially given up! I need BYC's awesome eyes (mine are crossed at this point.)

i thought this guy/girl (?) might be a white cochin... but lacking in the heavy leg feathering? maybe a mix? Calling all chicken experts!!!!

 

[chickenofthesea]

please!

 

[chickenofthesea]

any ideas on what breed i could look up? thanks a lot!

Where did you get it and its a girl

Not white cochin, they come in gray down then feather out white.

I got it (her

) at a feed store, who got it from some 4-H kids... no one there knew what she/he was~

If not a cochin, it could be a White d'Uccle or white faverolle, do you know if it is a bantam?

Feathered feet options are slim, cochin, brahma, d'Uccle, booted, silkie, langshan, faverolle, sultan...

If it is full size maybe a white langshan?

You can rule out any of the breeds with beards - D'Uccles, faverolles (I've never seen/heard of a white faverolle? I have blue & salmon), Silkie because it has no top hat at all. I'd guess cochin cross

I have some from my hens, crossed with a french marans roo - some have less leg/foot feathering and a couple have so much foot feathering it's incredible.

"do you know if it is a bantam?"



Nope...S/he is larger than my RIR of about the same age... and just a bit smaller than SLW of a few days older. S/he has no other color on her body but cream white. Theres really nothing distinguishing about her, other than the slight feathered legs~

no beard or muff and doesn't look like it has a fifth toe so it isn't a faverolles. looks like a cochin but not much foot feathering on it. maybe a light colored brahma? (and yes i have 2 in my coop that were yellow fluff balls as chicks! they were from a hatchery)
