TSC bantam... so confused!

[Eclipse3]

Ok, so when I first got this one from the bantam bin, I assumed it was a cochin. But then it started feathering in weird and I have zero clue what it is. I will put progression pics in. It looks kinda like a partridge cochin, but I've never seen one with the chick color of him/her. He is about 5 weeks old now. I am guessing it's a cockerel, because that comb is pretty pink, and it's just my luck.

Ummm..... I have zero clue what that it. He’s super pretty and cute. I hope you can keep him!

Maybe a Mille Fleur D'uccle?

Maybe a Mille Fleur D'uccle?

That’s a good guess. Make sure to keep this thread updated

Wow, I've never seen a chicken like that. Maybe @Overo Mare will have an idea.
Please keep updating as he grows!

He/she doesn't look like a Mille fleur d'uccle to me. I have 3 of them and they all were very different from this one as chicks. Plus he has no beard/muff. And he has the most adorable little poofy tail!

Calico Cochin cockerel is my best guess.

Hmmmm, I'm now wondering if he's just a goofy looking Red Cochin Bantam. I had another weird chick who was a Red Orpington, but her first feathers looked partridge, so it wouldn't be impossible and would make him a variety actually carried by the hatchery. Definitely continue to update!!

This I think is what's going on. I'll bet that once he molts, he'll be solid red.

How does he look now?
