Breed help??

Hi all!

Have this mixed breed hen (I hope ??) and curious what breed she might be. She started out all white but has been getting a tan colour lately. Picture of her at 12 weeks old.

The possible breed mixes based off the parents being:
Hens - Americaunas, Polish, Salmon Faverolles, Welsummer, Olive Eggers, Dominiques and Icelandics
Roos - Americaunas, Polish and Salmon Faverolles

None of the three breeds listed (if pure bred) could possibly be that chicken's father. Ameraucanas have beards, which are dominant. Polish have crests, which are dominant. Salmon Faverolles have beards and extra toes. Which are dominant.

That chicken has none of those traits, so either there's another rooster hanging around, of one of the roosters is a mixed breed. I pick the Americauna, because that's the most likely (hatcheries mix them a lot).

Mother cannot be: Dominique (the chicken would be black) or the Faverolle (beard, extra toes) or the Polish (crest).

Mother could be any of the other breeds listed, again assuming the Americauna hen is a mixed breed.

ok super helpful, I have a feeling none of the parents are pure bred so that makes sense. Thank you!
