Confirm breed and Cockerel or Pullet?

Forgive me because I'm a complete newbie to feather legged birds. What exactly are hock feathers?

These are some vulture hock feathers on my Booted Bantam's upper legs:

Do hatcheries typically breed/sell Columbian Cochins? I was under the impression that was more of a rare color, but I'm not really in the Cochins.

I'd guess it's a Light Brahma with an incorrect comb is all, that happens.

It is more likely a Light Brahma with incorrect. Your are right Columbian patterned Cochins are quite hard to find.

Vulture hocks are kinda an odd trait in Brahmas. In the US Brahmas with vulture hocks goes against the standard and will be disqualified from a show. But in the UK the standard calls for vulture hocks in Brahmas.

Thanks for the info! These are just my laying flock so not too worried about showing or anything. Good to know though in case I do decide to hatch my own I'll keep this one and my silkie with a single comb out of the running
