Could be partridge. Are you sure they are cochins? Where did they come from?

 

[TK Poultry]

ya they are cochins i got them from a breeder in lebanon indiana


ive had cochins before and these are it i just dont no wat color they are they said partridge i just looked at some patridge cochin pics and i dont see how they will become that my second thought was mayb mille fleur but idk

Are they banties? Standard cochins don't come in MF- at least not that we can buy easily in the US. I'd say they are partridge. I have had red birds that also had the pattern on the feathers as chicks, but it later turned to all red.

ya there bantams i love cochins and they are just puzzling me they came from a breeder but that gives me no reassurence these days so they are partridge??? or MF

I'd say some look partridge. If they were MF there would be alot more white- like the last pict. I didn't get my MF until they were older- so I can't be positive. But I have partridge standards and they looked similar to the first few picts. Maybe someone else wll chime in?

I've had mille fleur chicks that look to the one in the last pic. But, they are very rare around these parts. I had to ship eggs from CA to get them. I would say that they are partridge or golden laced. The breeder you got them from would know best.

that would be great but she only does blacks and these are her brothers over flow!!!

The first one i believe is a red Cochin, Mine had that with his first set of feathers , when he grows out that black will disappear.
