I thought so too but it's definitely a straight combed breed

Ok, definitely not a Brahma, then.

Right?! It's got the wheels turning though. She's not a d'uccle. Fluff not right color and doesn't have fluffy cheeks. Pretty sure a cochin but everything I've seen has no trace of black in the wings.

Buff cochin*

Buff Cochin bantam is my guess.

Some of the coloring that you are seeing may molt out.
Also in hatchery quality buff not uncommon to see some black feathers.

Wonderful! I didn't get to see her before the lady put her in the box, my sister picked her out. If it doesn't oh well. Still going to post the development just on case someone else has the same mystery lol

From what I understand, cochins lag a little in development, is this true for the bantam variety as well?

They are a little slower to develop than some breeds. I believe as with Silkies, hatchery quality are quicker to develop than breeder quality. I have only one Cochin, she was from Cackle and started laying around 6 months of age.
Unlike some other bantams out there, the Cochin bantam is its own breed and not just a mini version of a standard Cochin.
