I don't know, but she's very pretty.

Japanese Bantam, I think, they have that typical shape with the short legs and high tail.

Well she has feathered legs which Japanese bantams do not

Ah, couldn't tell the feathered legs from the pictures. Most likely she is a cross, then. Possibly containing Bantam Cochin.

My first thought when I saw her was also a Japanese bantam. She has that very upright tail and she looks low to the ground like her legs are shorter (though that could just be the pics). But yea, they don't have feathered legs, so maybe she's a Jap/Cochin mix? She's cute as a button, that's for sure!

Could also be a Japanese/Silkie cross....very pretty by the way! I am hoping that I end up with some that look like that! I have a silkie/jap cross but she has the regular feathering and long legs with no feathered feet! Enjoy that are wonderful birds
