Rooster breed help - Cochin x ??

[JoshDMS]

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help me identify my rooster. When I got him I was told he is a partridge cochin, and I think that's at least half true, but after doing some more research into cochins, I'm starting to think he must be crossed with something else.

He does have feathers on his feet, but it's just a thin strip of feathers down the outside of his legs and outer toe. Not feathered to nearly the extent of the cochin roosters in the pictures I can find. He's also lacking the dark feathers on and around the legs that all the pictures show. He is quite large though, and has been very docile so far, which seems typical of the cochins.

What do you guys think?

hmmm... he looks like a cochin x welsumer or new Hampshire red?

He's not partridge, but he's at least half Cochin. A really stunning half Cochin

Crossbred. I'd be surprised if he is 50% Cochin, more likely 25% in my opinion. 50% Cochin crosses typically have more leg feathers. But there is really no way to know for sure.

Thanks for the replies everyone! I kind of thought he would be a tough one to nail down but figured it was worth a shot. I guess there are two things we all agree on: he's at least part cochin, and he's one good lookin dude! I should have some chicks from him in about 2 weeks so I'm excited to see what I get.
