I bought this mix as day-olds from CL to "chickenize" a flock of Guinea Fowl of the same age. I figured they were run of the mill Rhode Island Red based birds but I've ended up with all these beauties! I'm not sure of general breeds they came from or sexing for them. Any help is appreciated!

I wouldn’t say that. The only trait he appears to share with a silkie is his crest, and all first generation cockerels from a cream legbar cross would be barred. He could be a second generation CCL cross, though.
I wasn't speaking first generation.

What do you see? I see a second/third mix of mixes that contain Silkie or CCL. I'm looking at body shape as well. Not just crest. CCL is more likely.

I can’t tell the body shape from the picture. From what I can see, there’s nothing really pointing towards CCL or silkie.

So what crested breed was responsible for that crest? I absolutely don't see Polish or Sultan or Houdan. Either way, it's a cockerel and is a mix of mixes.

Standing pics from the side would be most helpful for breed identification.
