My new favorite... Cochin?

[Murdy]

Allow me to introduce Spazz! She's my new fave! My little lap chicken.

She was sold to me as a cochin, but I'm not finding cochin pics with the poofy "hair". Any thoughts?

They had silkies there, but a silky would have black legs and beak, right? I don't think they had polish at all.

The little splashes in the pics are also cochin... But much less afro.

Silkie or Sultan mix! It appears to have five toes

Looks like a sultan (or some kind of sultan mix) to me!

I agree!

Could be silkie/Cochin mix. Cochin/silkie mixes can be sex linked (skin/shank color) and can inherit yellow/white skin from the opposite sexed parent.

 

[Painted Calls]

I'd say Silkie mixes.

Well... Whatever she is, I sure hope she fits in well with my urban needs! We had to get rid of a few as they were too noisy. I picked cochin as they are docile and quiet.

She's such a sweet little girl!!

Worth a mention is that I've seen the breeder's setup. Their runs/coops are all separate and breed specific.

Also... You think the little splashes are the same? Or are they cochin?

Nope... 4 toes

I'd say Silkie mixes.

I think that the most likely answer as they have both of those breeds, and I'd never heard of a sultan before, so I don't think they have those.

You think the same for the splashes? Much less afro poof on them.
