I bought this hen as a Wyandotte pullet among 2 others back in October. I immediately questioned the breed when I noticed the feather on the feet, but, quickly dismissed it as just an oddity.






I am now thinking that hen may be a Cochin because she lays medium-size, light-brown speckled eggs which are very different than the other two Wyandotte's.



Maybe someone could confirm that this is a Cochin, Wyandotte, or Wyandotte-mix.

Thanks

Cochins have a single comb. Your bird has the Silver laced Wyandotte look with feathered feet. Probably a cross between SLW and a black or white Cochin. When my Cochin rooster has covered a Rosecomb hen in the layer yard,, the offspring will have semi feathered feet with the Rosecomb.
They make good broodies .

She looks to have relatively good lacing for a mix. I see a raised comb. Is it possible the comb was frostbitten and damaged so that all the points from a single comb would have frozen off? Or maybe she is a Silver Laced Brahma? I can't get a good look at that comb.
