What breed is my chicken?

[Earthbound21]

My wife and I are trying to figure out what breed our chicken is. We got our chickens from friends and they told us they believe she is a Cochin, but looking at different breeds we are not 100% sure. We think she could possibly be a Langshan.

This is her in May...

and in July...

and finally in December.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Looks similar to a black Cochin. I have a mottled Cochin and yours looks similar in shape if not color. I say Cochin hard to tell size in the picture but they come in bantam and standard size.

Cochin, the featherd legs certainly make this little one look the part. They usually have very mellow, friendly personalities.

Also only one pic loaded, the one from July.

I think langshan mix. I have several mixes from my langshan hen. They don't have as much of an "u shape" as a full langshan. I don't have any cochins but the feathering on the legs doesn't look as dense as a cochin.

Here is a photo of my easter egger langshan mix at 10 weeks. He has lost most of his white now.

It may help to know where your friends got her?

I'd go with cochin. What breeds does your friend have?

I do not know. They rescued about 20+ baby chicks that were ordered and abandoned

They are all different since they were rescued
