The black leaking into the white neck feathers, the very closely patterened black on the rest of the body. She looks pretty beefy too, but it is mainly the color that throws me. She should have a solid white head and neck, and her black barring should be very showy and have nice, equal distance between "bars" of color. If you look at some of the Silvers on Feathersite, they're quite ideal examples.
Really though - Her main problem is her neck coloration.

Thank you. We have 15 chickens right now. We picked most of them because they were cute chicks. Tiger, which we just identified is a Silver Campine, is sitting on 10+ eggs. She made her nest in our front yard. I had to move her to the coop area. One of our other Banties has started laying eggs in Tiger's nest. We do not have a campine roo. Our roos are buff sillkie, white silke, and as yet an identified breed. The lady at the feed store said it was a wyandotte but I an not sure. We are excited to see what color/kind of babies we get.
