It may take up to 3 weeks for the frizzle presentation to appear. The Calico Cochin bantam is a beautiful feather-legged chicken with a buff or light brown base color that features lovely speckles of white, black, and varying shades of brown. The males will be darker in color than the females and appear more solid in color.
