    Silkie and what?

    I have this rooster that I bought from a friend, he is part silkie, but I'm not sure what else. He has the extra toes, a head tuft, and blue skin near his ears. I am just curious what y'all think he is mixed with! Btw he is very mellow, and allows me to pick him up. His name is San Fransisco!
