New chicken...what is it?

[silkielover88]

Got her at auction, thought she was a silkies by distance....look at her after and she's got smooth feathers....any idea on what she may be?

Probably a silkie cochin mix. She's got the silkie crest, but smooth cochin feathers, and cochins and silkies are both popular pets.

Possibly a sultan? I believe they can carry the silkied gene however I may have wrong. The feathers look unusually soft which is typical of a Ss (silkie split)

Hi, I'm thinking mix splash female also.

She could possibliy be mixed with a sultan. I think that a cochin would be more likely since cochins and silkies are two of the most popular pet bantam breeds.

Silkie/Cochin cross

Another vote for silkie/cochin cross. She's a cute little thing, that's a pretty splash coloring.

That's what I was thinking too. And thank you all! She is very sweet and a pretty little thing! I have a sizzle rooster I may cross her with. He's a splash too.
