Breed (mix) guesses?

[LinzeeBrie]

This lil lady hatched from a white egg. (a variety carton that I shockingly hatched in a tiny chinese cheapie incubator.). The eggs came from a free ranging farm with a wide variety of breeds. Just wondering if anybody has an opinion? I *thought* she had started (and stopped) laying before the days got super short, but now I'm thinking her comb and wattles are more red than I've ever seen them, and her pubic bone spacing is not quite two fingers). Basically I'm curious what she might be AND if there's still a chance she'll add a new colour to the egg basket

I do not see any Ancona, but I do see feathered feet and a crest. How many toes does she have?

Looks almost exactly like my little silkie cross that is one month old now!

So classic - as soon as you post about it....

I'm 99% sure that smaller/pinker egg is hers. It's the same colour as the one I got a few times a couple months ago... And judging by her comb, she's 1 of the only 2 girls laying right now

Are those her hatch mates feet?

Yes. Remi (after molting his tail):

What color skin does she have? You can tell easiest by looking under the wings. It’ll help determine if mom or dad was the Silkie.
Can’t always tell by the leg colors due to extended black. Could be a dermal sex link.

Just white

So that means her mother is most likely the Silkie which makes sense with coming from a white egg. Was the egg smaller than normal do you recall?
In that case based on her looks and the looks of her hatch mate I suspect her father may be a Marans
Just slightly educated guess anyway.

Even my hubby still talks about Remi, and he usually cares exactly 0.1% about chickens.

It's amazing the way chickens make their way into our little hearts. I understand being heartbroken of over roosters, I had four Ameraucana roosters I will never forget. Unfortunately I only have space for one rooster. Hardest decision of my life. ❤

She looks very much like a silkie cross.

x2. Especially depending on how many toes she has.

While most silkie crosses have five toes, three of the ones that I hatched this last month had only 4 toes.
