What Color Is My Cochin?

[thecreekhouse]

This is my Cochin pullet, Coco. I trust her breeder that she’s purebred but I’ve been unable to find a single example of another Cochin with this coloring no matter where I’ve looked. What color would you call her?

Ohhhhhh what a
Beauty! Sorry I don’t know exactly what you’d call her coloring other than beautiful

She’s a mottled Cochin

Golden Cuckoo is the closest I can come to describing it. Seems colors are labeled differently between breeds, so it's highly likely this isn't what her variety is actually called.

Here's a picture I found off the internet of a Golden Cuckoo Marans, for reference:

LOVELY girl!

Leaky messy cuckoo.
A couple colors crossed. Impressively pretty actual.

GOLDEN MOTTLED COLORATION. SHE DEF ISNT A PUREBRED UNLESS SHE HAS A WEIRD COLORATION THE REST DONT, HOWEVER SHE IS A LOOKER. SHE IS GOOD EYECANDY. IF HER OFFSPRING LOOKED JUST LIKE HER I WOULD BUY IN A HEARTBEAT.

Oh wow! This coloring looks just like my Cochin. Thank you so much for finding this photo.

She looks like a Golden Cuckoo Marans like the poster said earlier. I think just the cuckoo part is sometimes used to describe breeds with mixed colors.
She is very pretty. She reminds me of a tortoise shell cat.

(More information on golden cuckoo)
Yes, a less technical term for that coloration would be golden cuckoo. It means a cuckoo bird with gold leakage.

Golden cuckoo is gold Birchen with barring.
