Thinking this one is actually cochin even though I already guessed it before lol
 
Personally

All of my guesses have literally been off the top of my head. I do have somewhat of a photographic memory though. And I did get some of them wrong and some I didn't guess on because I literally had no clue. Lol
That's awesome though! That you're able to name so many off the top of your head!

Also to be fair- several of them happen to be breeds I am familiar with too. And some just have knowledge of. I kept Faverolles so that one was easy. And I research the birds quite often because I want to be an exceptional breeder.
