This is her last year with some Anconas she hatched.

I had one almost identical, she was the best mother ever. We had some really aggressive RIR hens that would attack babies but the bantam cochin hen never let them hurt one of hers. Her name was FeeFee and she died of old age

This is the only Cochin bantam I have. She is about 6 years old and stopped laying this year.

She is immaculate, wow, really pretty bird.

I would say given your location she is partridge based and carries dilute. I have seen similar birds that are Pg/pg+ and carry dilute. Will post a pic next time i am on the farm.

I concentrate on red bantam cochins - I have about 70 in my barn right now. Of various ages.
