What color are these cochin bantams?

[Athena2344]

I have a breeding trio of cochin bantams, a rooster/hen pair of blacks, and a Birchen hen. The pair of blacks have produced solid black and solid white chicks, and then I've had these three chicks that are absolutely gorgeous, I love the colors on them, but I am at a loss as to what their color actually is. Has anyone seen anything similar? If I end up with a breeding pair/trio, do y'all think the color/pattern would breed true? The oldest of the three, a pullet And the youngest two

I am also at a loss. Please post more photos when they feather out. They are very cool looking. Hopefully someone more genetics savvy will answer soon.

I've never seen anything like them! It would be interesting to see what they look like fully grown.

They're very pretty!

Thank y'all! There's no set lacing pattern on them, it's like a medley of colors lol they all hatched out white then started feathering out with black and browns

I'm not positive but I think they'd fall into the mottled category. I had bantam calico Cochin and they were much more random patterned than that. They're the ones on each side of the black chick in the foreground.

I had seen the calicos and I was thinking that they might be calico, but looking at them, they're much darker. Would they be brown mottled maybe?
