Bantam Unknown Breed

Can you tell me what breed this beautiful bantam hen is? She has feathered feet. I want to buy more like her.

Mixed breed, mutt, barnyard mix etc.
She is a pretty lady

She's a very pretty mix. How many toes does she have? If she has four, you're likely looking for a bantam cochin mix. If she has five, she's likely part silkie. With her crest, cheeks and her floofy "pantalettes," she looks like a silkie & buff bantam cochin mix to me.

From what I can see of her toes it looks like she has 5 and her face looks darker, if so she's part silkie. She's so cute!

Here are better photos of her. I can’t find a breed like her with a tiny rose comb like she has.

What are pantalettes? Feathered feet?

Could be at least those, though it could be others very easily

I would say very likely part silkie. Silkie x Cochin would be a very good guess. If you want others that look similar, I would look for more of that cross, or even just satin silkies, which look similar. This girl is beardless though, which means that her silkie parent would have been non bearded. Something seen more often with the hatchery silkies. Hope you can find her some similar friends!

What are pantalettes? Feathered feet?

It's not a technical term, just what they look like to me! Pantalettes are the lacy undergarments historically worn under long skirts, primarily for modesty. Your bantam's poofy lower half looks like she's wearing the chicken version of either those or a baby's ruffled bloomers. That's very cute - and a very "cochin" trait!
