Cutest Cochin Contest!

This is Papaya, a calico frizzle cochin bantam. He is about 1 1/2 years old. Papaya is an absolute sweetheart. He loves to be cuddled, and he likes to sit on my lap. He always makes a big deal of himself, and prances around with his chest puffed up, but his ladies still mostly ignore him. He does do a great job of protecting them though!

So cute and tiny!!😍
 
So, does she look cochin or brahma?
She has most of the Cochin, the bright yellow feet (Also like the Brahma and RIR) with feathering, the light red coloring, the single comb, and the smaller size. But, she had the same black pattern on her tail as her father does, which couldn't have come from the red bantam Cochin side, so I think Brahma.

I also noticed that when comparing Yuzu's beak to her possible mother's beak (RIR), they look identical.
 
Do people ever free range there cochin bantams? Asking cause I know nothing about them.
I don't free-range mine often, the flock has a huge fenced-in hen yard to roam around. But there is an exception if I am home and working in the yard, then I may let a couple of hens out to graze.

(During the summer this year, I put some temporary garden fencing up and made an enclosed area for them to graze in.)
