Partridge Cochin??

[advantagegs]

We got this female in a batch of males free for buying feed. Out of the 5 males 3 were females! Someone was over the other day and said she's a partridge cochin. Do you agree? She's full sized and one of the biggest birds we have. Thanks for you help! We'd like a few more of this type.

Yes, a lovely partridge Cochin.

I second that. We use to raise partridge cochins and they are the sweetest things. She's a very pretty bird.

Don't you love luck like that? I wonder all the time how often people chuck females in thinking they're males. . .

She's a very pretty Partridge Cochin.

I'm learning so much about breeds here and how to look at chickens to recognize them - now what makes this a partridge? She looks like a dark version of my Teresa.

Partridge cochin hen. It's a nice color since the males have different coloring than the females.

We have some too and they are so nice and pretty.

Your girl has some good type on her too.

Here's what the males look like

The hen looks a little bit like a Partridge Wyandotte.
