[stephanie1992]

i say cochin silkie mix. i have a cochin with vulture hocks. her body says cochin and comb and crest say silkie. i say its a pullet

 

[tinychicky]

if it helps :
silkie/cochin mix (with a little rosecomb in her)

silkie/ d'uccle mix (i'm pretty sure she's pooping in this picture, so it's not the most flattering...

)

i agree that it's a pullet though.

She looks identical to my cochin x silkie at that age. I am saying pullet

OH!!

Thanks! I would never have guessed that!

ETA: I have a cochin that looks like she has vulture hocks.

 

[tinychicky]

vulture hocks are a DQ in cochins. that looks like a hatchery bird anyway so it doesn't matter so much

Thanks for all the replies!

So, which one is it? Cochin, polish, or D'uccle silkie mix?

She definitely has vulture hocks! Does that mean D'uccle?
