I am so glad to hear she's a girl! and sounds like definitely part silkie.
Thank you!

By her coloring, if the choices of parents are RIR and unknown game bird, I think the other half is probably game bird vs RIR. Games come in all sorts of colors, so I could see that plus a black or partridge or buff silkie making your little girl. I am no expert on colors by any means, but I know RIR will only give red genes, and I don't think your girl has any red genes in her. It would likely show up in the neck and chest areas from what I have seen of other mixes. She looks like a petite little thing, another reason I am leaning towards game bantam as a parent, the other parent being a silkie.

I have also seen people call all their bantams "games" which isn't really accurate at all. In that case, who knows. I do think both parents were bantams by her size, though.
