Is this cochin considered red/brown? Or what color is she?

She's a partridge, very pretty!

She looks like a dark, golden laced cochin to me.

Here is a golden laced (juvenile) cochin--except this one is a standard:

Thats a pretty cochin also. I love the banties but I have standard polish. How weird is that!!

Here's a standard partridge cochin pullet

Same checks!! I guess they dont stay that way. I do love ours though she is adorable. She catches my eye out of all of the rest of them.

Hi ya'll, she is a cross variety. Her feathers are barred and not laced like a partridge and the brown red are basically solid in color except the hackles (neck feathers). Barred cochins are only black and white (stripes). I'm quite familiar with all of the colors of cochins but just to be sure I wasn't wrong I looked in the American Poultry Association Standard of Perfection. Boy, everyone should have this great book. It sure takes the guess work out of a lot of questions. You can order on a the APA-ABA Youth Program website. Gabby-tn

Partridge cochins start out more barred and get the lacing as they get older

I raise partridge cochins and that is what that bird is. I don't care what any book says, they all look a little different as they are growing and putting on new feathers. They are a very beautiful bird.

I am glad that this was posted since I have what I thought were 3 partridge cochins, but their feather patterns did look odd. They are now 8 weeks and look just like the original poster's pullet.
Yay! I guessed right!
