Patridge cochin bantam?

[Hannahnic14]

My new chick's came today!! 4 assorted silkies and 4 assorted cochin bantams. This little guy/girl is quite a bit lighter than the other patridge I've identified. Do they vary that much in shade?

Yes they can vary quite a bit in down color.

I've been giving some to a neighbor down the road because my bantam flock is alot bigger than I anticipated lol. I have alot of female pairs so I'm breaking those up slowly.

How many did you first start with?? Just curious, I started out with one actually, a free one due to bullying issues.
