It depends on from where you hail
Sorry, I get confused, but here in Aus she is a Pekin which is basically a bantam Cochin but not really because a Pekin is apparently different to a Cochin? I have heard them referred to as Bantam Cochins, Pekin Cochin and Pekin
There is a pekin chicken but I can't link to more I for because I'm mobile, maybe tomorrow if I can remember
That quacks me up! She is very cuteI have a Pekin X, or Bantam Cochin X or Bantam Pekin X who sounds like a duck
But yep, what is in a name? She is a little, round, feather footed, cranky when broody Chicken!
Cool! You learn something every day! I have 2 Pekin ducks. That's why I asked.Apparently!
According to Wikipedia:
The Pekin is a breed of chicken, and a True Bantam of Chinese origin. They are rather short, and often only 20-30 centimetres tall. The Pekin possesses a wealth of feathering about their feet and legs, quite nearly obscuring them. The breed is remarkably popular, and seems to almost encompass the gamut of chicken colours. There is considerable debate concerning whether or not Cochin Bantams are Pekins or miniatureCochins.[1]
Which is why I get confused but yep, in Aus, we call them Pekins
Just sharing a tip also.
I use GIMP [Free open source GNU Image Manipulation Program] for those more professional looks.
But, some screen capture programs allow you to add text. I use Snagit for times like these as it is quick and easy to screen shot an image and add text.
Do you have a picture of her in her unfluffed "sweetheart" state? I would really like to make a comparison. That is really one eyebrow-raising sight, She. Looks. HUGE!Tee hee .. that is Blondie and while she is a sweetheart when not broody, she turns on cranky big time when she is! She chases her people across the back garden and attacks toes! She is the only one I have to pick up with gloves on and while I let her have one hatch, she is never going to be allowed to have another
