Mystery Pullet

[SingletrackDVM]

I'd appreciate your help. I over-chickened this spring, and I lost my breed list. I've identified everyone except this girl. She is roughly 12 weeks old and was purchased at North 40 in Great Falls, MT. I know Hoover Hatchery is one of their suppliers. Thoughts?

silver-gray dorking, perhaps?

It looks like dorkings have 5 toes and the pictured chicken has 4 toes. https://www.mypetchicken.com/catalog/Baby-Chicks/Silver-Gray-Dorking-p1265.aspx

The coloring is similar, but she doesn't have enough toes to be a Dorking.

I scrolled through Hoover Hatchery and the closest coloring, that I saw, was the cream legbar. However, the CL has a crest and regular comb. Can we get an up close picture of her comb?

Looks like a designer breed.

Definitely no crest. I'll get a better photo of her comb tomorrow.

No way that is a silver gray dorking. Or any dorking in general. My profile picture is a silver gray dorking, for reference. But I don't know, maybe a barred rock mixed with something else?

Perhaps an olive egger. She is not a pure bred fowl but one of the hatchery hybrids.

Hoover's favorite thing to do is mix everything together. They may as well go by Sherwin Williams.

It sort of resembles those weird Barred Rocks they were pumping out last year or year before last. Conformation is all wrong though. @EmmaRainboe

I'll wait for comb pics too. Wondering if it's a modified pea.
