Here is a pic of my favorite Roo, Mr. Weasley. He was given to me as a standard cochin, but I'm not sure if thats what he is or not. The Murray catalog says the standard cochin has a single comb, and Mr. Weasley has the pointed rose comb. He is large and heavy. Hubby guesses that he weighs in probably 10 or 11 lbs. He also has feathered legs. I'm pretty sure,but not positive, that he is not a mixed breed.
The friend that I got him from knows a lady that only likes to raise baby chicks.As soon as they are pretty well on their way to adulthood, she gives them away. I have yet to figure out why she doesn't like to keep the chickens, but I guess different strokes for different folks.

A couple times a year she orders one of the variety packs from MM Hatchery and this is where he came from. So I think he is some kind of breed. LOL.
Thanks in Advance,
Tammy

And here is Mrs. Weasley. I'd guess she would weigh about 7 lbs or so. She looks large, but she is a lot of feathers.Her legs look like feathery pantaloons. I think her back would be fluffier if all her feathers were grown in.The lady that had them before , I think had a lot of roosters in with to few hens and these ladies got a workout.When I got her, she didn't have any feathers on her back or the back of her neck but they are coming back in now. I had her figured as a standard cochin, but maybe not. Thanks again.

It is a wyandotte but I am not sure what type. Maybe a patridge wyandotte.
I just found out your rooster is a Golden Laced Wyandotte rooster.

Looks like he has some Wyandotte in him due to the fact he has some lacing and his rose comb but the feathered feet got me confused. So he might be mixed.

The comb, wattles and facial features (shape of head) does not match Brahmas. Brahmas have very distinct facial features that make them look mean, even though mast are very sweet. I think Mr. Weasley is a Wyandotte X Cochin.
