You may be on to something here.

This could be it, @Kris5902 Brahama Chicken

@Ribh I will also accept this answer.

What does everyone think? Brahama or Cochin?

You may be right. Rocks-Ann, loves to snuggle with me, and watch movies. Rocket would do that too. (She would Just lay her little beak on my shoulder, and purr) My others prefer to sit on my chest, as close to my face as "chickenly" possible. Only BLU chooses not to participate in
such snuggling festivities. I'm glad Jaffar does! Jaffar fits right in this feathered family.
(He is just as crazy as the rest)

That is all just so sweet. I suspect you spend more time with your chickens when they are still chicks than some of us do. Sounds like they like all the attention, and especially TV time. Do you watch Animal Planet with them? And do you stick to bird friendly shows? Well, I didn't need to ask that. I know you wouldn't traumatize your chickens.

their policy is often to seize all the animals... and that would include my flocks as well, our Cats, and the cows, my mother’s pet sheep. And likely they would all be put down.

Really? they would take well cared for animals, even though they had a different owner, just because they are on the same farm land? That surprises me.

What else would the highlighted below be?

It’s a barred Cochin. They have feathered feet.
I had two, but they went to the rainbow bridge.

To me it looks like a mottled Cochin but I am a novice.

I need to read all the way to the end!

I can't play - my knowledge of chicken breeds is limited to:
- Leghorns (because of you)
- Legbars (because of all of you)
- Campines (because of @Ribh)
- Naked necks (because of @WhoDatChick and Trump, obviously)
- Rhode Island Reds (because of the vet who explained that Maggie was bred in order to die young )
- Bitsas (because of @MaryJanet and @Shadrach)

I think that is all I could have a shot at recognizing with the exception of the Bitsas which would just have to be my default guess for all other chickens. I will keep trying to learn!

None of us do that. Don't worry about it.
