Breed?

[Jberd70]

Hello, we are wondering what type of breed this little thing is. She/He (Light Grey bird) was given to us at about 2 weeks old and is now 9-10 weeks old and about half the size of the one next to her in the picture. Any thoughts?

If she has 5 toes, I would guess silky cross bred.

Looks like a Silkie mix.

cream legbars have a funny tuft like that, on the top of their head...

It does look like a cream legbar. It only has 4 toes and light colored legs. I will try and get a better picture tonight.

It could be a Polish, Silkie, or Legbar cross. Personally I think it’s a Silkie cross as the beak is dark and the bird is Bantam sized.

Where did you get it? Better pics would help. Do you have any idea who the parents cold be?

 

[Jberd70]

It came from a kindergarten class. Not sure who or where.

Crossbreds. The vast majority of classroom chicks are.

Considering it's a classroom experiment, you're almost guaranteed of getting a cross. This is a beautiful mixed breed.
