My grandson's new..what?

[kklowell]

My grandson got some babies at TSC yesterday and most look like Silkies with their black skin and extra toe, but two of them don't have the 5th toe, though they do apparently have black skin. These are the only two black ones they got. Do any of you know what they might actually be? They are bantams. Thanks for the help!

Do they have feathers on their feet? If yes, probably a black cochin bantam.

what color are their legs? and their foot bottoms?

I'm working on getting answers to these questions... will update as soon as I get the email from him.

Ok, now I have a picture of the legs and feet

Some sort of Marans. Feathers will help with the identification.

Marans don't come in bantam form. Looks to be a lovely little Black Cochin.

Thanks everyone. I wondered if they might be Cochins.
