Is my Cochin a show quality or pet quality

[ChickenCrazy123]

She looks nice to me but I don't know a lot about Bantam Cochin. I just have LF Cochin's but I saw you posted on the Cochin thread and lilcrow posted about her and said nice things in my opinion she know what she is talking about. How are her feet feathers?

When we first got my three young Cochin's we kept them in quarantine for awhile and they stayed on pine shavings. So when they grew new feet feathers that helped them not to break. Yeah I have heard from others that there birds are having a hard molt this year but my birds didn't molt that much just got new and more feet feathers and fuller tail and body. This is are first time keeping chickens so we haven't gone through a big molt yet. I'm a bit nervous for when they finally do a real molt.

But when we got lily my black LF Cochin she had nice feet feathers we just kept her on pine shavings for a while also and she grew more then she started to lose her feet feathers

and after a month or less they came back fuller and better
