breed and gender help

Dear Mulelover1999, you have very good breed and genetick knowledge for person who can not separate 4 mo old roo from pullet.

I fully agree.

Mule - you're extremely adamant about your chicken not having Silkie in her when she clearly does. The crestedness of your chicken isn't the only Silkie trait. Her entire head screams Silkie. It matters not whether the breeder had Silkies as to whether she has that breed in her. You're also quite argumentative and arrogant regarding something you self-admittedly just recently began.

When I first arrived to this forum I was pretty arrogant too - because I'd read so many award-winning resource books and studied so much, and researched countless sources. However, I learned very quickly (as should you) that these people on this forum have a LOT to offer. The hands-on experience and countless years of chicken ownership that these folks here have, is of an extreme magnitude and will definitely make whatever it is you *think* you know - nothing in comparison.

Please stop making the same mistake I did when I first got here. Open your ears and your eyes and be a sponge; soak in everything they are telling you.

The people here have a cornucopia of knowledge that they are VERY willing to share with those who will actually listen.

I wasn't asking her breed I was asking the top two.

we know that, we are just saying that she has silkie in her, but she can still be an EE. She is beautiful.

what will make her that ee is the color of her eggs but with ee's those colors can vary from an color over the rainbow hince why they are called ee's. an EE is any chicken that carries the blue egg laying gene but does not meet the APA standard of perfection for an amerauacna or arucana.

here take a look at this thread it has nothing but silkie mixes of all sorts. see how your hen closely resembles a lot of these mixes in face, skin color, crest, and even body shape
