I know, I have a flock of Cochins, short legs and rounded butt feather but the pictures looked so much like my black Cochin when it was a chick.

Your chick does have a straighter back and being clean leg. I think everyone else it right ^_^, don’t listen to me.

Mottled Jap with not too much mottling, maybe when she molts she will get more.

I'm curious as to what exactly makes this adorable little baby mottled, rather than black. While I've never personally raised anything mottled, I was under the impression they started out life two-toned, like the following. A lot of black birds feather out with a small amount of white and molt it out later on.

I had a male mottled Japanese pictured below him plus photo of his offspring as chicks

In person, he. Had alot more white on him than u can't tell in pics but his offspring hatched almost totally white and maybe s little TINY black spot...
