Yikes. I truly don't know. I think cross breed is the most likely by far however.

Uh oh I’m starting to think my pretty girl might be a boy. Are those saddle feathers?

Updating because damn she’s turned into a beautiful chicken. I believe all three of my hens are laying. The egg colors are very similar. A light brown. My crested polish Roo is very found of her so I’m considering crossing her with him in the future. My other double silver laced Barnevelders have also turned out stunning. I have extra boys if anyone is interested.

These photos are about a month old now taken around when I got my first egg.

Last photo is lower quality but you can see how much her comb and wattles have grown in the past month.

Okay one more update for you. I assumed all my hens were laying because I was getting about 2 small brown eggs a day from 3 chickens. Turned out my mystery chick was holding out on me and yesterday she gave me a green speckled egg! Anyone has new guesses on what breed from Feather Lover Farms she might be mixed with?

She is a beautiful mutt laying green eggs.

I think she is a mix, too. She looks like she could be a cross between a silver Barnevelder and a Silverudd. Someone must have hopped a fence to get that cross. It does happen.

Gorgeous bird with a gorgeous egg. I think you lucked out with your accidental chick!

That was my newest guess since seeing the egg color!
