What Breed is this mix?

[InterestingChickens]

If it is a Salmon Faverolles mix the Rooster would have too be white, turning it all white. As far as I know, white is a dominant colouring.

Thanks for the responses! Just curious and for fun. I did see a photo of the rooster (big black cochin) and two of the chicks both have feathered legs.

attached are two other siblings (there is a 4th who has the feathered legs and looks like the black on photo here. Believe he is a Roo)

These birds have pea combs, beards, and clean slate legs. I'll bet the Cochin is actually a Brahma mix and he didn't sire these.

None of the breeds mentioned have slate legs or pea combs (except for Brahma for the combs). The person you got them from doesn't know what they have. To me they seem like Ameraucana mixes.

Second one is definitely a cockerel.

Either way on the breed makeup, they're cute and the pullets will lay you eggs.

Dad is either not a Cochin, or they have some other breeds in the mix of hens that they didn't list.

Agreed. They definitely look like ameraucana mixes.

Can you post the picture of the father?

Looks like a Faverolles mix pullet!

Salmon faverolles x cochin would not produce a chick without feathered legs, with a pea comb, and with that coloring.

I got the fertile eggs from a local backyard chicken keeper so there is a high probability of them not know what they have or a mix. 5/12 hatched and 1 escaped and was eaten by something. So 4 left. I think the light grey and the white are hens and the other two are Roos! If I can catch the 4th I’ll post a photo of him too.

I’ll be interested to see what color eggs they lay!

I think the breeder has some Easter Eggers or potentially Ameraucanas in there too. Muffs, beards, plus leg color. I would be very surprised if they don't have some EE blood. Barred bird is only cockerel

Ok here’s the 4th. They were raised by a broody so impossible to catch! He’s actually pretty sweet.
