what breed are these cockerels, i got them as pekin/cochin bantams??

[tobit]

so i got these two little lads a couple of months ago as pekin bantams (hens at the time, they decided differently) but they don't seem to quite look like most other people's pekin/cochin bantam roosters so i was wondering if maybe they are mixed breed birds? any ideas guys?

looks like some nice ones to me but im no good at this, dont take my word. lol the blue is beautiful. they are both very healthy looking

Look like Pekin/Cochins to me, no idea if they would be show quality or anything.

 

[tobit]

No i highly doubt show quality, they do generally look like cochins but the blue looks different especially with such a wide chest and the tail is more like that of a "normal" cockerel rather than the typical rounded off tail

Thanks for the comments guys, yeah the blue one is hilarious to watch lol!

he is a nice bird and unless he has 5 toes i would think the 4-h would love to show him.( he is so soft looking he brought silkie to mind)

 

[tobit]

Im pretty sure he has 4 toes (not that i have specifically checked) what's the 4-h? Im not into showing or breeding to get the perfect bird...

you are in the UK.just seen that. it is mostly for children to teach them responsibility. county fairs they raise them, show them, win their ribbons. i dont know a lot about it as my kid thinks the only good chicken is at KFC. Kentucky fried chicken, restaurant . lol

 

[tobit]

Oh okay i see what you mean, they're a great breed to have around kids so thats probably why. Lol well they do have a good point!
