This is Carmel now. I posted the first pic back in Sept. everyone said she was a Buff. Ummm she’s red with a black tail We should have named her Cinnamon instead of Carmel
Any Cochin people?! Is this a normal or rare color??

I believe that color is simply called 'Red' : )

She does seem to be a bit of a cohin mix? How old is she ?
Please

I don't think she's a pure cochins either

 

[pennyJo1960]

Possibly rhode island red mix
maybe lay bigger egg than pure cochin

This is a fair point... she's got very lightly feathered feet compared to even the Cochins I got from feedstores, she's a little tall and has a sort of "flat butt" if you don't mind my crude terminology haha, but lacking the big round shape in the tail... Interesting bird nonetheless

If her legs are really pink/white, she’s a cochin mix. You could call her coloration black tailed buff.

More pics. The Partridge color one is Nestle. I bought them both at Wilco from the "assorted cochins" bin. I got them on Sept 1-ish so they are around 18-20 weeks still tiny waddles and combs? These pics were 2 weeks ago but there is really no differances now.

If she’s from a hatchery, she’s a red cochin.
