This was super helpful!! I really appreciate your info! I left out one important word with our one and only rooster (for now) Cochin Bantam
Yeah, speaking as someone who breeds Cochin bantams and has owned Cochins of varying quality for a little more than a decade now, he's definitely not a Cochin bantam, either. That's a mix up of some kind. From Meyer, my first thought would have been Green Queen or Cookies and Cream (though I don't know if they have a bantam version of the latter). The plumage coloring is for the most part correct for what a Mottled Cochin would have, yes, but everything else about him is wrong for the breed.
Hatchery bantam Cochins can stray a bit from the perfectly round and fluffy shape that Cochins are meant to have due to the less selective breeding practices in hatcheries... but not by that much. Even the worst bantam Cochins I have seen from hatcheries don't end up with incorrect dominant traits such as crests, extra toes, or beards, traits that pure Cochins could never have and that could only result from crossing them to something else. Comparing him to the picture you pulled up from Meyer, you can also see that he has the improper shape for even their Cochins. Cochins generally do not have distinct tail feathers, instead having what is called a 'cushion' of fluff on their butt ends, and even those poorly bred to the point where their tail feathers stick out past that cushion do not have a large fanned tail like your rooster.
I have to feed yet but before Iām going to go throw rocks and curse a lot!
