Based on the comb type, leg feathering, & black speckles on the legs, he's has Silkie in him. Not sure of the other half though.

Is he from a hatchery, a farm store, or some similar source or from a backyard flock?

If the former, I'd guess he's some kind of "egger".

If the latter, a handsome mixed-breed (and possibly a mix of mixes).

He’s a backyardigan
My kids school hatches eggs every year and I have taken a few chicks every year from that situation. Not sure the last batch was from so no way to tell.


I love him. He was so cute when a chick, all bright white. Brahma mix maybe too?

I don't think he has Brahma in the mix. Body type is too slim.

Oh ok, I see that too now that you mention. Thank you for your feedback!

He looks EEish to me…

Feathered feet and a peacomb could come from "egger" lines that had Ameraucana and Marans ancestry though since he doesn't have a beard the Ameraucana can't be too close.

A handsome mix of mixes most likely. I hope his temperament is as good as his appearance.

The speckling on the legs suggests a Fibro parent. One of my Silkie back cross birds has them.

I agree with a mix of mixes. You can get pea combs through breeding silkies to single combed breeds.
