Here I have Mille Fleur Cochins, Mottled Cochins, Blue Cochins, Splash Cochins, mixed colored silkies, sizzles, and mixed breeds.





This is a silkie or sizzle, named Little Bit. Was the last one to hatch and took the longest to get out.

Mottled Cochin




Mille Fleur Cochin







and this last one I'm unsure on the color, does anyone know? It came from my mottled pen which has mottled, blue mottled, and black.

I am a new chicken owner. Ordered a collection of rare breeds and in that order received two cochins, a blue (Cookie) and a chocolate (Betty Brown), both females. Both are 8 weeks old, but Cookie is HUGE while Betty is smaller. I will take pictures soon.

One may possibly be bantam, meaning a smaller version of that breed. Sometimes its harder to tell.

Aren't there bantam, standard and large fowl in cochins? I thought that was brought up once?

I thought standard and large fowl are the same thing? I used to show and there was always two sections for the chickens, bantams and large fowl. I've always heard that standard is just another name for large fowl, and large fowl doesn't have to mean like a giant chicken, just means chickens that are not bantams, bigger birds. I could be wrong though. I've just always heard it this way.

Hitting the other cochin thread for more input on this. I am not sure either. with your show experience though , you are probably correct.
