What breed is he?

[tifaus]

Hello all!

This is my second time being a chicken mom and these are a completely different breed than my first ones. The rooster in the pic is named shine and let me tell you, he's rotten. He's not really mean he just likes to play and attack feet. He's attached to my husband and follows him everywhere. Any info is appreciated. Thank you!

Mottled Cochin.

Oh he IS a cutie!
That breed tends to be nicer then most.
Best little rooster we ever had was a red Cochin bantam.

Thank you. He is rotten. We got 5 chicks from our local feed store and they couldn't tell us the breed so we basically were like oh well I guess we'll find out. Each one of them is different. They all turned out very pretty. We also have 1 bantam rooster with 4 Rhode island red hens. I will have to show you pictures of the ones with my mottled Cochin.

I know I would love to see pics of them all.

I am sorely tempted to order a bunch more little feathered beasties.
I have a 6 year old black and can 5 year old silver laced Cochin. Both of mine are females.

The first picture is our other rooster, Tweeter. The second pic is my girl black beak and she loves to hang out on shoulders. The third pic is my fluffy hen, ratchet. And finally the last pic is Tweeter and a tiny hen in the back. Her name is Tiny Belle.

My little black is forever broody.
Tweeter! I love that for a name. Super nice group you have!
