Cochin Banty Girls? 8 weeks or so...

[Secretchicken]

Our first cochins...What awsome birds! Here's Butter. Still hoping for girlie. Whatcha think? I love her cheeks!

This appears to be a cochin/ EE or Ameracauna cross.
Feathered feet are characteristic of cochins, but those muffs are Ameracauna/Aracauna material.
The cross of these two breeds would result in an EE (Easter Egger.)
EEs can lay brown, blue, green, or even pinkish eggs.

I agree she looks girlie and gorgeous!
I intentionally cross Ameracaunas with my Cochin boys to create fuzzy green egg layers just like your Butter.

Congrats! She looks like a sweetie!

Did you get them from a hatchery? If so they should be d'Uccles..white or maybe even gold neck.

Wow! And here I thought they were cochin... I feather sexed them by the wing feathers from the banty bin at TSC. I got lucky with my two OEGs too but my one silkie is a boy.

I did find him a good home with a friend who also has silkies. Once they are bigger I will post more pics. Thanks for your suggestions on breeds.

looks like a beautiful white d'uccle girl!

What a cutie to pick out of the banty bin. Since its a hatchery chick, I agree with the D'Uccle votes.

And with such a tiny comb, its almost certainly a girl. Yeah. D'Uccles are great.

Check that birdie for 5 toes on each leg!

last time i was at my local TSC they had a bantam faverolle! it was adorable! it had 5 toes, featherest legs, and a beard. thats how i knew, so the pullet could be one

The d'uccles don't have 5 toes like the silkies. Maybe they are a cross?
