What kinda Cochin is this? Is this even a Cochin?

[Lillyfly]

Hello friends! So I got this chicken as a chick at tractor supply store and as it's grown up I've been curious as to what kinda pattern/chicken this is. They were in a bin of mixed breeds and I thought it would be fun to just see what I got. Fairly sure it's a Cochin, the rest is unknown. What really throws me off on if it is a Cochin is the beak. But I really have no clue what pattern this is. Btw she is a pullet right now, I understand the pattern will become clearer after her first molt.

It's gorgeous. I don't recognize it as an official color, it is a Cochin.

Cochin cross

No yellow skin, so not a Cochin. Probably a Booted Bantam. The coloring is Columbian, but not a very good example.

Cute as all get out whatever she may be.

It is a Cochin mix not a pure Cochin.

It has a Columbian type pattern, but I'm not sure what the back patterning would be called....I think it is a type of barring.

Not barring. Incorrect penciling. Barring produces uniform white 'bars.' This bird is exhibiting splotchy black patterning on a silver background.
The vulture hocks and white skin are more indicative of Booted Bantam.

I guess I'm most curious about what pattern it is. I've been calling it an arrow pattern. Because they look like little < arrows to me. Booted Batam could be right. Are they bigger or smaller than Cochin's so I can tell as she grows.

I also own Millie Flure Old English Batams and she is already bigger than both of them and they are full grown.

Booted Bantams are basically D'Uccle without the muffs and beards. Smaller than bantam Cochins.
