Cochin Bantams and Frizzle Cochin Bantams!!

[tommysgirl]

Hi I picked this little girl up as part of an assortment of feather legged bantams. I am wondering what color she is...I am not sure she is a cochin but by process of elimination I think so. Thanks in advance
.

Also picked up these two. I thought they were the same color initially but now it is obvious that they may be different. Also curious about your thoughts re sex...I know it is early but the little girl above got her feathers so quickly and has no comb and there is a little mottled boy that is clearly a boy. He has a pronounced comb already at 3.5 weeks. So these two are not very feathery...boyish and also pretty combless...girlish. I don't have much experience with baby bantams. My only other experience was with homegrown babies D'Uccle/Silkie mixes.

My first clue that they were not going to have the same coloring is that their bellies are creamy on the left and silver on the right. Plus their faces are different



Comb shot they both have similar combs. Plus the chick on right ,the silver belly, has some burgundyish head fluff.



Silver belly is in the back and you and see the reddish head fluff just above the comb. Thanks for any help you can give me. I don't know the specific breeds on these two either so any ideas you can give me will be appreciated. They were in the "Assorted Feather Legged Bantam." bin

Sorry to repost and hope I am not being a bother but am really hoping one of you more experienced with cochins can help me out. Are these even cochins??? I looked up the colors for Brahma and D'Uccle and they didn't come in solid black. Could that first one be a dark Brahma Bantam? Thanks for putting up with my chick spam

Looks like might be a Silver Laced. Hard to tell.

Thanks so much! I appreciate your efforts...that was nice of you to look up images for me. I think you may be exactly right but I guess I have to be more patient.

At 6 months she is ready to start laying any time.  It is sweet that she thinks she laid the egg.

She is so shy she will not even come outif her coop. Just once in awhile. She's content in her home. I try to get her out. But she always wants back in . They are both my sweetest hens!

they do not all turn out like that. that poor thing, it's so ugly it's cute. but i wouldn't want it wandering around in my flock. i have a frizzle/cochin henX frizzle/bantam/cochin roo
(complete accident a utility man, and a fox made this possible) yearling and he is all white. curly fluffy and perfect with a beautiful face. he is a ribbon winner, and not for ugliest bird in show. but i agree he is a fluke. i even named him frazzle before his feathers came in.
