They are called Pekin bantams in other countries, but in the US we call them Cochins (LF and Bantam). They are the same breed, different sizes.

I've never heard of LF cochins

I've never heard of LF cochins

They do exist and are actually pretty cool. they get around Brahma sized and tend to be very friendly and fluffy.

Aracana

Yep, too easy!
Araucana fact: "The gene that is responsible for the unique ear tufts has lethal qualities. Normal matings will result in approximately 50% tufted and 25% non-tufted offspring. The remaining 25% die in the shell prior to hatching"

Nope! But that's a good guess since the only varieties are silver and golden. Take a look at the weights.
