BLRW over Speckled Sussex and Welsummer. Any idea which hen this one may have come from?

I am willing to participate. I have 8 silkie chicks (2 weeks old as of this post). I am getting then DNA sexed. I currently have two that I am pretty sure are males.
Its sad but I have a feeling some of the key members helping with sexing are no longer checking this thread. In their defense there are probably more inquiries from New members as a result of pandemic chicken fever than they are used to.
Post pics though! It will be awesome reporting your experience with DNA tested silkies. I have 3 straight-run 8 wk olds and it just now seems I'm able to identify sex by body posture, feet, tail and crest feathering, comb and temperament, "Frida" is turning out to be a FRIDO

My splash and white move around differently, aren't as rowdy, have no sign of combs and are fluffier in general.
