Just out of curiosity.. Is she a SilkiexRIR mix?

Hi Rooster, A friend of mine gave me the eggs for my broody hen to hatch. She has about 30 hens and 12 roos. I know silkie is in the mix so Ronnie could be RIR/silkie, I can't say for sure.

I have seen my friends chickens and none of them have green legs.....where Ronnie got hers???? Thanks

Pullet! I have three Poufy Head Sisters who look very much like your girl there. They are Cochin/Silkie over Barred Rock hen.

Sounds like a RIRxSilkie cross to me!

My cross chick had light legs when she hatched and looked green for a bit but they are starting to turn black (from the Silkie heritage). Plus, your pullets pattern looks very similar to mine!

Here she is if you're wondering. She's about 5 weeks old now.
