Hello, I hatched out a few Chicks last week. One was supposed to be a Silkie,,,

I should have known it wasn't, I thought the egg was too big for a Silkie.

Anyway the egg it hatched out of was medium to large and white. Any ideas what breed this chick may be? Thanks

It's a total mystery because I had a spare space it my incubator and asked around at the Poultry

Mart for a Silky egg. I figured it wasn't silky from the size, but hatched it out anyway,,,,and it sure

isn't a Silkie.

Sure, looks and sounds like maybe an Ancona.  Probably not a Maran since they lay dark eggs, not white.

Update:

willowbranchfarm and goldfinches are100% correct. It's an Ancona....mostly.

I remembered I had the number of the egg provider from something else.

I got in contact and it was an Ancona hen, for sure, Thanks so much for the help.

I really appreciate it. The Rooster is unknown....any guesses there : ) .

Thanks to everyone on the thread for your input.......mystery solved.
