My mystery Giant Cochin

[Sugar Sand Farm]

This is Dutch my giant cochin Roo He will be 1 on April 3. He came with my order of BBS cochins. He looked just like a blue with dark blue and yellow coloring until he started to feather in. Then he looked like a barred cochin Once he was fully feathered and went through his firs tmolt be became this brown color. He looks more like a bronze turkey color close up I contacted the breeder and he admitted he is a mix of some kind stating his father was white? Anyway I think he is unique and wanted to share him with you all

what do you all think.

Thanks the breed says he should be culled but I don't think so. He apoligized and said his father was a white cochin who took first prize at a show. He wanted some new blood in his line of blues and blacks. He didnt realize there was a problem until they started to grow out . He says now he can trace it back. I really don't care what he is His coloring is a chocolate color but his feather look alittle like a barred. Before I separated him he was in with my blue cochin hen. I have one little chick (i think its a hen) who has his barring but she is blue. Of course he looked blue when he was a chick also. It will be interesting to see what she looks like. I hope she stays blue.
