Is this bantam a cochin? Or something else?

[mama24]

Possibly a d'Uccle? I think it's safe to say he's a boy. Only 3 weeks old, and look at that comb!

 

[paramedic07]

brahma or cochin i'd guess. color not sure.

 

[donrae]

I'm saying cochin due to the straight comb. D'uccles have muffs.

Brahmas have pea combs. I can't tell if the chick has beard/muffs or not. If it does, then I'm guessing white D'Uccle. If not, then he's a Cochin.

 

[mama24]

I think so???

 

[mama24]

Does that look like a beard and muffs to you? He's puffier around his face than most of my other chicks, but not nearly as puffy as the Easter Eggers I got.

 

[akcountrygrrl]

Yep, that's beard/muffs. Looks like a cute little D'Uccle boy to me.

I think I really lucked out on chicks this year. I got way too many straight run birds, especially bantams, and so far they seem to be mostly girls! But he is the only d'Uccle I got. I will have to rehome him.

I have too many roos, even with my luck.

Thanks! I was really suspecting he was a d'Uccle. He's just not shaped quite like my other cochins.

 

[mama24]

ok, now he has light buff feathers coming in on his neck. wth?

 

[akcountrygrrl]

He's possibly a golden neck D'Uccle then. Very pretty birds. You'll see more of the buff color coming out if he is.
