What variety is this Cochin?

I've never heard anyone in the UK call them Cochins. Just Pekins.

aoxa,

I just want to make sure where the OP is at, I know in some areas of Germany they call them Cochins.

This bird looks a lot like the OP's Bird and the color was firs found in Germany --

He is, I just wish he was mine. I found the picture on a Dutch site.
This is the same color/pattern as the Rooster I posted but on a Hen.

The "color" of the two bird that I posted in is known as Bobtail in Germany and is a Sex-link Recessive Imperfect Albinism (s^al).
s^al dilutes both Black and Red just like Self Blue (Lavender).
Here is a link on the s^al gene http://www.chickencolours.com/Bobtail Cochin bantams Chickencolours dot com.pdf
