She is small standing next to one of my BCM she is about 1-2 inches shorter. seems to have grey skin/legs.. a few feathers on her legs.. she is black with green and purple sheen. she lays light brown eggs.. small eggs ... slightly larger than my silkies.. The biggest and coolest feacher about this hen is her mohawk!!.. I love her, and want to get some more hens. What breed is she. I have heard she is a silkie/polich cross, and/or a astrlorp/silkie cross.. IDK ives seen a few pictures around the net with hens that look just like her.. so i think for the genetics to be exactly the same in crossing is a lil crazy.... she has to belong to a breed... PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!


here is the rooster That came with her.. idk if they are the same breed,, but identifying him may help with her..

 
It looks like some Crevecoeur mix, or maybe one of those breeds that's on the tip of my tongue, but It's not passing my mind!

I'd say the hen is a silkie mix, most first time crosses have the same features so she would look like some google photos. the roo looks like a crevecoeur mix
 
thanks guys. I found a guy on the board that had some that looked just like my hen. he said that the mother was Silkie/Cochin. At any rate i have been breeding these two together because they were sold to me as a pair. they guy said that they were very "rare". but hey.. i love the mohawk and now have 5 chicks from her. she has gone broody so she has 3 more of her eggs going, 2 french bcm, and 1 silkie.. whatever she is .. she is awesome, and seems to be good at everything.. shes broody, and since i have had her.. 1.5 months. she had laid every day except for 2..
