WoW!!!! A Barnevelder! I've never heard of that breed let alone pronounce Barnevelder, and after a little research I belive you are correct! She's very glossy and lays medium light brown eggs and I've found tons of photos just like her. Thanks so much!
Ya learn something everyday.
Lucy is a different story. I think she's too big and too feathered to have silkie in her. She's not furry in any way like a silkie and she acts like and hangs with the other Polish. Whatever she is she's a nice chicken, quiet, calm, and a little dittzie like a polish. She reminds us of Lucille Ball with that red top.
This site is great.
Lucy looks a lot like my full polish hen, Calico. She is a buff laced polish in my opinion. Here's a couple pix of my girl.
Angelray- Lucy could be a sister to your hen. Except for coloring (Lucy looks a bit more red) they are very similar. Thanks for clearing it up for me.
Twinklin - Squawk is almost a year old and lays medium sized light brown eggs. Her wattles are very small and her comb looks like a Pea comb found here...

She looks more like a Barnevelder than any Wyandotte photo that I've found. She's a good layer and makes a ruckus when anyone leaves an egg in any of the 3 boxes I have for them. She's aggressive and a bully when it comes to food and who she sleeps beside. She also has me very well trained- she lets me know when it's time to eat or leave the run and scratch around the yard. She's the loudest hen we have but not the boss, that title goes to the smallest silkie, Omelet, she rules.
Thanks all for the info.
I've checked her all over and can't find anything wrong other than her weight is way down and her comb is limp.
