These 2 are silkie crosses. Dad is a buff bearded silkie and possible moms are a buff bantam Cochin or a porcelain D’Uccle. I’m leaning towards the Mom being the Cochin. What do you all think?
The one on the left is a cockerel and has white skin. I’m really hoping these are from the Cochin as I no longer have her.

I think so too. The bodies are lower and no black in the feathers which made me think the Cochin. There is the cockerel with white skin and the 2 pullets with dark skin. None have single combs.

Mom had been broody since Easter and hatched several batches but wouldn’t raise the chicks. She’d switch nests as soon as everyone was hatched. Guess she took a break just long enough to lay these 3 eggs. She passed last month trying to coparent a batch of chicks. I was very sad.
