They arent purebred cochin, or appear to be faverolle from what I can tell. Very pretty though

Possibly favy/coch mix or possible ameraucana mix?? Anyone else wanna help out here? Great pics by the way, some of them are sooo clear

I'm sure one of the experts will be along and help with more advice & info. The one with red comb appears to be a roo. Sorry I couldnt be more help

BTW...

same here. i'm thinking there is cochin in them. those tushes look like the hind end on cochins. but the color on the legs is what has me curious. i know the blue/black favs seem to have off color legs but one looks to have that greenish color from an EE.

if any of them have the 5 toes they could be crossed with favs. if they all have 4 toes i would say they are EE x cochins

i just

those bearded faces, regardless of how short the beards are as long as they have enough to look like a beard. she has nice color to her, i also love that blue/lavender color. i've been deciding if i wanted to breed my lavender d'uccle boy to one of the favs and see if i could get some of those nice colors and body/tail shape. but he doesn't have much of a beard and he got the silkie feather look to him

. i'm hoping his looong foot feathers won't transfer into too many of the offspring or they would probably look like bearded cochins when they made it to adults!

i find that the ones i want to cull are the hardest to let go! they are just too sweet and make me want to find a sweet roo to breed them with to get more sweet offspring from them! but dh doesn't want me to keep any more roos and i really shouldn't be keeping them either.

Thank you all for your help. I will round them up to look at their toes again. I think I noticed a small fifth toe in the upper back of the foot for the black ones, but could not tell for sure with the feathers covering..I will look again. Thanks for welcoming our family and sharing!

DOH! why do all the sweet ones i like become boys!

eta: so do you think it is a splash or something new for a pattern, or just too early to be sure on that?

 

[keesmom]

He's a splash salmon.

 

[henney penny]

My salmon starting laying eggs last week and I am surprised how small they are compared to the size of the pullet they are the size of my silkies eggs,will they get bigger as they get older?
