What color are these cochin bantams?

Pretty

They feathered out gorgeous! I can't seem to find a good photo though, they also ended up both being cockerels so I didn't get to keep them.

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?

I was looking at mottled and they seemed kind of similar, but not quite the same.

Once they're fully feathered, and after that juvenile molt they may look very different. Very pretty so far!

Yes, there's not really any white mottling on them, I'm not sure if it really comes across in the pictures, but especially on the pullet, it's more of a dusty, peachy color on the lightest parts

I guess we'll just have to see ! Imagine if you made an official new color of cochin!

If they breed true, I have no idea what I'd call them how would I even go about doing that?

My black cochin bantam hen went broody on 3 cochin bantam eggs, 5 blue/green eggs and two other cross eggs. I set one of my incubators with 8 cochin bantam eggs, 7 blue/green eggs and 7 sex link green layers. So we'll see in a few weeks if I can grow out some more cochin bantams of that color. And if anyone is interested, I'll be selling the extra white and black chicks
