What was the gentlemens name? I have a Faverolles memberlist if you would like one. I am the President of the club.

Hello All, I posted this on another thread for cochins and was directed here.

We picked up 4 of what we thought were "Cochin" pullets the other day from a local breeder. 2 Black and 2 Blue. It is now believed that they are either FAVEROLLEs or a COCHIN/EE mix.

PLEASE HELP us determine what we really have. They are beautiful to me, but we would like to know their true breed and gender!

They were hatched in April and 2 in May (The larger ones). One of the larger Black ones looks to have longer sweeping tail feathers and the reddest comb. Is it a possible Roo?

All but the large blue girl seem to have muffs and beards. Will it fill in as they get more feathers?

Thanks for all input, please help us confirm what we have!!!!

Group of our cochins/ faverolles??? (4 and 5 months old)

Roo or Pullet?

Ear muffs/ beards

Roo to the far left?

Blue cochin pullet with no muffs or beard

Picture of their tails

Face

Feet, some plucked off in transit, but seem a bit bare in general

Thanks again for any input!

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...

How many toes do they have? They look like to me to be a cross.
