New chicken!

She's gorgeous! My first thought was Mille Fleur d'Uccle, but when you wrote Pekin I had to go look them up. Beautiful!

 

[Rachy]

Ah yes, of course

Thank you

Pekin and Cochin are the same aren't they?
I thought I heard someone say that...or read it...or something.

Not trying to be a dufus!
She is beautiful though!

Oh wow! What a beautiful girl! I would love one! Planning on getting 3 more hens, may have to look into those ;-)

They are gorgeous and they have such friendly dispositions. They are my absolute favs

Thank you for all your lovely comments

Lol! I've read that too. Are we dufuses?!

They are very similar to look at, apart from their size and are often mistaken for Cochins.
Pekins are a true bantam, they have no large version and come originally from China.
There's a link on this thread somewhere

This one's still up for debate, actually. Meanwhile, I prefer to think my PEKINS are directly descended from the Chinese Emperor's flock in the Forbidden City. Take that you bantam Cochins!
