I thought I had a faverolle...?

Does she have five toes? If so maybe Brahma x Dorking.

Leg feathering too profuse... normally they are on the sparse side out of clean leg to feather leg cross.

Looking at the first photo again, I'm not sure that bird has a pea comb.

Ohh you might be right! I missed that too. Hmm.

Cochin from hatchery? If the source was from a backyard flock, just put her down as a mixed breed.

This pic is of the other two favs I got at the same time, they all have the same type of comb!

I got from a hatchery/chook farm, and yes has 5 toes! She said she only had Sussex and faverolles! So that's very interesting!

I thought these two were girls, but now I'm guessing roo left and pullet right, as the roo is starting to get a wee sickle feather!

That explains it.. the beards aren't very full on those two. Now with the one being beardless, it's evident the breeder birds are not pure for the bearded gene.

Did the breeder mention what *color(s)* faverolles they are working on?

These are both pullets. Faverolles cockerels look much different.

Males look like this

The first pullet may be a Sussex x Faverolles cross. I got some interesting colors from continung that cross for a few generations.
