What Color Is This?

[thecreekhouse]

This is my Cochin pullet, Coco. I can’t find photos of any Cochin colored like she is. The breeder told me that one of her parents - can’t remember which - was a partridge but I can’t recall what color she said that Coco’s other parent is. So what color would you call this?

She’s a mixed color.

Could she be what’s called a crele?

Agree she's a mixed color/pattern.
Not crele

Is she part red wyandotte?

Barred with buff leakage, no real name for this pattern. Agreed, not Crele.

Is she part red wyandotte?

I got her from a very reputable breeder and was told she is a purebred Cochin. I selected her out of a pen of Cochin pullets, all of whom appeared to be standard colors. Since I won’t be showing her or breeding her, I picked my pullet because I loved her unique color and pattern. Now I’d just like to know whether anyone else has a Cochin this color or whether there’s a name for it.

What color are her legs? Her toes look to be white. Cochins should have yellow legs.

I can’t see her legs because of heavy feathering but her toes definitely look pinkish white, not yellow. Does this mean she’s definitely a mixed breed?
