I know he's some part silkie for a couple reasons - the 5th toe, some of his skin was blue-tinted as a baby (the rest pink) and as he'd grown, his legs have become completely blue. His beak and facial skin remain pink. Has a little beard and poofy cheeks.
The last two were taken yesterday. For another picture of him as a baby, check http://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=86453 (3rd pic)
When he was very little, we also called him Wocket but I decided Conan would be more appropriate cause he felt like a solid little fluff-covered ball of meat. As he's grown up, he has become very thin. At first we thought maybe he was part Cornish but that wouldn't make sense now with how slender and light he has become. He has the softest feathers I have ever felt. Any idea what else he might be?
(BTW, I realize its most likely a hen, but we're so used to calling it "him" lol)
