What is my little Roo?

[sillycmoy]

Anyone have any guess on what my 9 week old Roo could possibly be? I'm sure he is some type of mix, came from a Preschool hatching. My best guess was a Cochin mix, but the Cochin thread said nope. I just need to re-home him, and I would like to try to tell someone what he might be.

He looks like a Barbu d'Uccle Bantam.

You know what, I think you could be right except he is the same size as my RIRs that are 2 weeks younger then him, and I do have another bantam that came with that bunch of chicks, but she is way tiny. I was thinking she was a Calico Cochin.

Here is the Roo's sister that looks just like him


And her is the one that I thought was a Calico Cochin Bantam

Agreed

So do you think his sister's are the same thing? Will be neat if they start to get some white in there somewhere.

Probably a Braham then. http://www.freewebs.com/sunshineopia/thebrahmabreed.htm

I think you might be right about the Calico. Whatever she is it's not the same as the other two.

She was hatched with them, so that's why its so weird that they are all so different, I already re-homed the other Roo that was with the bunch, but he didn't look anything like these 3 either. I was told by the preschool person who was handing them out at the local grocery store in the snow, that they all came from the same parents. She couldn't tell me anything more, she said they were just dropped off by a parent who didn't want them back. So I don't know what they are, but they are all very sweet.

Then I wonder if there is Frizzle in them? Some come out straight feathered and some dont. That might explain the differences.
