Looks like game fowl crossed with Silkies. The hen looks a something like an Iowa Blue. Weird to get that coloring from those parents, but genetics are a wonder.
Anyone want to guess the strain of American Gamefowl within the parents?

Silkie is correct for both as well.

I would think both parents would need to have one copy of the lavender gene to get Isabella coloring. But I'm not aware of any gamefowl having it except OE games. Unless the silkies were lavender. Hmm, dunno. I was thinking Flarry eye gray because of the crest, but that probably came from the Silkie. Definitely single combed game fowl and not a pea combed breed. I think you've stumped us!

The Old English Game Bantam was Silver Duckwing. Silkie is White.

The American Gamefowl in this mixture is Blue Face Hatch. I'll give you guys that.

There's one more breed in the mix of the hen, & her son that hasn't been guessed.
