What coloring? or breed cochin am I ??

[Newbietochickens]

I bought this young chick in TENN...I am from GA. I thought she was going to turn out so pretty that I let her ride with me 7 hours home...lol. Does anyone know what to call her? I know she is a Cochin...but is she any kind of pure breed??

I am going to guess buff columbian in color

She could be Buff Columbian but her dark blends too much really... Like my Buff Columbian Cochin bantam the black on the neck is specks around it. Let me see if I can find a decent pick of her. She isn't show quality or anything, man this is all I can find and you can't see the speck ring on the back of her neck. Well you can barely see it above her shoulders I guess. Oh well this is all I have, thought I had more of her than this... Will try to take a better spec pic.

Is the OP bird LF? I don't know of columbian, let alone buff columbian, in LF cochins. It's possible, but I've not seen any. I would say she is probably mixed.
ETA: I'm thinking LF cause she looks very 'leggy'.

LOL I put her down long enough to take pics SEE...
A closer pic of Buff Columbian

And another angle

THEN i picked her back up...

Your Cochin is a gorgeous coloring though... It's like more golden than a buff color

The first birds seems to have more of a columbian pattern than the second. I personally haven't seen LF Buff columbians, but thats not to say the breeder wasn't working on some.
