What breed is this feather-footed chick?

[Lhynes1478]

I think this was a surprise chick from Murray McMurray or Ideal poultry. No idea what it is. Has feathered feet and straight comb. Much larger than my bantams, but way less feathered than everyone else! They’re about 4wks old.

Thank you!

Golden laced cochin, perhaps

Possibly an olive egger?

I was thinking that too, but I guess the feathered feet are throwing me off! Thank you. Time will tell

That’s the closest thing I can find so far! Just weird looking. We will find out soon thank you!

A lot of Olive Eggers have feathered feet because they’re often marans mixes.

It’s 8wks old now. What do you guys think? I’m thinking it’s a hen because my Cochin roosters are very obvious and have been for weeks, but I’m not sure

He's a partridge Cochin cockerel.

Ah! I guess I was comparing him to my bantam Cochin cockerels. It’s definitely huge, so not surprised to hear it’s a cockerel. Thank you!
