This little gal (hoping gal at least) was the only one of her kind in the assorted bantam bin at the local feed store. What is she? She is black and tan. She has a crest bump and clean legs. What breed and what color will she be?

 

Thanks for your help!

She doesn't look like the other silver laced polish that I already have. She isn't white enough.

Chicks can vary a little in fluff color. I'm almost 100% sure it's a Silver Laced.

I was about 95% sure when picked her out that she was polish (I have only have 2 other polish chicks and they were older when I got them). I also assume she is beard as well. I can't wait to watch her color out!

its definitely a sliver laced polish, golds are brownish red and black

Is there any way she could be cuckoo?  Her wing feathers aren't looking laced at all!
