Cross Rooster

[Bat]

Heres our one-year old “little black”. Sort of going into it a bit on the old aggressions but still harmless. I was wondering what he is?

He’s a cross for sure. We hatched from my mums eggs but those chickens are gone. His mum was lavender.

Looks like a Cochin cross to me. The lacing on those buff laced Polish is excellent, by the way. I wish I could find some like that again.

I don’t know... I think my mum just acquired them so they were what they were. I was not the enthusiast I am today back then

I almost wonder if the dad was cochin.

Thanks! You might be right - had a mag I hadn’t opened yet right next to me all along with a Cochin special. Dead ringer with the flame effect red/orange/black feathers

Those aren't Cochins, they are Brahmas.

Your rooster is very likely a Cochin cross.

Those are actually Brahmas-- pea combs. Cochins are similar with single combs, like yours. But the color is right-- both Cochins and Brahmas come in the partridge variety, so I think your is probably a partridge Cochin cross. He's a handsome fellow.

Aha. Quite right. Got too carried away to read.

Ah gotcha. Funny because his brothers were either black and white or black and tan. So we kept the one that kept the red
