I’m not sure about my 2 backyard mixes. Silkie/Cream Legbar.
I have a 3rd that’s crowing with a Cream Legbar red comb at 8 weeks old. The other two have the Silkie Combs.

Hi all,
We just moved to the country with a property with acreage and I wanted chickens.
I have been doing a ton of research and my Neighbor has been super helpful with any questions I have had. I'm sure I still have a lot to learn, so I'm here.
My Uncle raised Silkie and they were so...
This is supposed to be a Black Copper Marans but looks nothing like my other Black Copper Marans seen in the back of the 1st pic. Today, she started growing a crest.
