If it develops a beard, it's very likely a spitzhauben mix. There is a rare bearded breed called an Appenzeller Barthuhner..... but I don't think they have the crest & V comb.

Whatever it is, she/he looks cool.

I wonder if it'd a spitz x Easter Egger mix!!! That would be cool to have both a mohawk & green-blue eggs!

Well she layed her first two eggs this week and they are blue! Could not believe it! I was really expecting white eggs. Hers is second from left. Tiny one next to cream Silkie egg. View attachment 1787509
