Is my Brahma a dud? :)

I agree with @sourland , looks like a Cochin to me. That's what I thought when I saw the first picture. Good luck with her(/him)!!

Body type looks 'Cochin' - she is just a slow developing BEAUTY.

Thanks! I think she's pretty, but I'm biased. I am a teacher and my class hatched chickens last year. She is the one chick I got from school. I have two RIR's, but she's my mutt and has sentimental value. I'm so interested in finding out what she could be a mix of. I thought Cochin as well, but her feathering is just on the outside of her legs. The lady who brought the eggs for us to hatch said she thinks there were some Brahmas and Cochins who could be the parents. I think her feather patterning almost looks like a Partridge Wyandotte or a Barnevelder. (I've only seen pictures of those breeds while researching).
