Mystery pullet / cockerel

[Taj_MaChicken]

Bought these two chickies from the local supply store. We thought they were in a box labeled "brown leghorns." But they're definitely not leghorns... their feathers are coming in nicely on their legs. I added pictures of the rest of our flock that includes ameraucana, SLW, and bantam Polish so you can see their size in relation to the others.

One of them is a cockerel; no denying it. We've had them 5 weeks.

Here's when we brought them home (the one on the left is our oldest of the original group):


Here's about 1.5 weeks later when the cockerel's comb started to stand out:



Fast forward to now :

I don't know what they are, but I think they're very pretty!

The black one is a cockerel and the 2 brown ones are pullets

I see a cochin, a cochin mix, and I have no clue about your cockerel.

Is it possible he's a partridge cochin?

The fact he has a full tail makes me think he's not a pure cochin, but maybe a mix.

Wow. They definitely look like what I can find of the breed. Thanks!
