Seriously, "Silky" Smooth Cochin Bantams

[Yukidongo]

The strange feathered pair... noticed they have a mostly single comb...the roo's is a bit broad, though. Yellow legs. Green eggs. Have to get better of the hen. Will go back out in a minute.
Oh, and eggs...if it does not bother her broody butt, lol.

They look like they have EE in their make-up with those combs and beards. Cochins do not have beards. Definitely NOWHERE near pure cochin.

If you want to see what a Cochin should look like, see my Avatar. He is a standard sized Black, but that is generally what they should look in shape and appearance.

This is what a white bantam should look like.

HORRIBLE pix, but these are the newer black/red roosters in with the strange pair. Frizzled. Heavy, spiky comb, broad, and yellow heavy feathered legs.

They are not purebred cochins, they have muffs and incorrect combs. Plus not enough leg feathers. Sorry.

This is my bantam cochin frizzle hen.


These 2, the black is pure Cochin, the rooster looks pure but has some d'uccle in him.

All of yours are mixes unfortunately. My guess some silkie and Easter egger, and potentially cochins, but it's hard to say for sure. They are definitely interesting looking.

The white bantam hen, in the first 3 pix is the One that laid the eggs for the strange pair. The Frizzled rooster in the first 3 pix is the Papa. I hatched the eggs. So, there may be something up with Rob Roy's genetics, then. Yuki is Cochin, single comb, yellow legs, tan eggs. May be mystery solved, lol. The little roo I lost to a hawk was perfect cochin bantam. I'd never seen a Frizzled chicken, until Rob Roy, lol. I had to look him up. But the 3 came from a reputable hatchery...I hammer that phrase, AGAIN, because when I talk of selling my RI Reds, or Jubilees, people want a "reputable hatchery". Funny. ..you can only be as reputable as what you get.
I appreciate all the comments. Mystery solved, I guess. This is the only pair of chicks I raised off of the first ones (top), that has looked like this. The rest have been typical frizzle, or smooth. These were unique....and disposition is your die for. Ya'll are awesome!

Yuki is not a purebred Cochin, she has face muffs, and the wrong comb type. You were not sold purebred birds.

And I'd be curious as to which hatchery they can from.
