Crested mix ?

I got this pullet recently. I was told she was a mix. Any ideas ?

Looks like a polish cross, possibly silkie cross. How many toes?

Agree with polish mix. Got a little cap like this boy

Looks like a Polish mix to me too. Very pretty!

Just the regular,I think.... three forward and one back .

I think there are more possibilities; for example I've got a couple that look quite similar, and their dad was a crested Swedish Flower and their mums were an Araucana and a Welsummer resp. (left and middle of picture, with a Swedish Flower)

Oh yes, absolutely. I think they look similar too. Beautiful birds. The one I got is so skinny I need to get her healthy. Poor girl. Shes one of the smallest in the bunch but she finally established her place in the pecking order and turns out she’s actually quite fiesty. She came from a huge flock in a crowded pen so hopefully she starts looking better soon.

I was thinking it was not even out of the realm of possibility that she is a spitzhauben cross with aruacana.

I think a Spitz crest points forward, and my Araucana passed on the beard and muffs too, so maybe not, but chicken genetics is very complicated.

do you know what breeds were in there, so what her parentage options might be?

I'm thinking Swedish Flower cross but possibly polish. Silkie crosses usually have a least 1 extra toe. I don't think its a Spitz though, sorry.
