I’ve never seen a chicken like that! I wasn’t sure it was a chicken at first glance, kind of resembles a game bird. Very pretty!

well it better be a chicken !

what you see is what I got

She's a sebright mix.

Looks like a silkie mix because of the black skin and the crest. It's a pullet (female).

VERY pretty!

Are you sure? In the second picture she doesn't appear to have a crest.

Maybe not, I think it is the black on her head giving her that appearance to me in the first photo.

ohh - looking that up it appears you may be right! on the downside, they are largely ornamental so unless she's mixed with something that is a decent egg layer I guess she'll just be the barnyard bling

I have... I once had a golden Laced/partridge Wyondotte that looked like that.
Very unique to see her almost split in half of the two breeds if that is what it came from. Beautiful!
