I am extremely new here but have been a longtime lurker well before I had my first chickens which happen to be the ones I am trying to identify.

I received these about a month ago and don't know too much about their potential breed. They are definitely adults or so being as they have been laying for as long as I have had them as well as before.

If anyone needs further info to help me identify them I will keep checking back and answering anything I need to.

Thank you.




Edit- I will jump on a computer real quick to post pictures since I can't figure it out from my iPhone.

The one with the different comb and beard looks like cochin mix and other one with the straight comb looks like a cochin.
 
The one on the left appears to be like a mottled Cochin mix, and the one on the right looks like a birchin Cochin?
 
Thank you.
I have been researching different breeds and couldn't seem to pinpoint one. I believe they are of the bantam variety due to the fact they are VERY small compared to other chickens I have met.

I was very uneducated when I first got these but have really stepped up my game and hopefully I will have a full fledged coop very soon and will be able to add more chickens here.
 
I just now looked up Birchin Cochin and I think you guys have really solved this. I am amazed that what has taken me about a month to figure out has only taken minutes here.

When looking up photos the resemblance is spot on with the birchin. I did have a roo but he had to go back to the pet store, He was a perfect example of the birchins that I saw. He was the prettiest bird I have ever seen. When I got them I wasn't interested in the roo but the lady said he was very quiet and so I gave in. Unfortunately he was only quiet for about a week after we got him and then one day he started testing his crow. The next morning at 4am my wife nudged me and said "do you hear that?" Sure enough we had a crower and he was VERY loud. Also he would carry on for about 2-3 hours with 30 second breaks in between. It still breaks my heart when I see him at the shop.
