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

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

Are D'Uccle's similar to D'Anvers? I have a D'Anver rooster. He's a silly mess.

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.

Not really a name for what is going on with her black patterning. Genetically, she's probably got a 'Dark brown' pattern gene (doesn't actually produce brown coloring), interfering with the proper penciling produced by the Pg and Columbian genes.

D'Anvers are D'Uccle with a rose comb and clean legs. All were developed in Belgian from the same ancestor stock.

Ahhh, too bad she's a tractor supply chick. Would of loved to know who her parents were.

I wonder if this other chick we also got from the same bin is a porcelain D'Uccle and not a feather footed porcelain D'Anver like I thought then. With the only difference is feathered feet.

Also reason I thought the white one was a Cochin is because I was told this lady(I'm hoping, it's been acting kinda roo-ish) was also a Cochin. They were also in the mystery bin.

Yep, that's a D'Uccle.

That's a Cochin cockerel. He's just not pure for the cuckoo gene. Notice how different that bird's shape is. Good type, for hatchery stock.
