Do you think this could be a Silkie- Favorelles mix?

[ChickenPeep]

Hey everyone.

I've had this bird for a while, and have never been quite sure on the breed. But now I think I may know what it is. She lays light brown eggs, and I know that both Silkies and Favorelles lay light brown eggs. Do you think this bird could be a Silkie- Favorelles mix?


Here she is.









Wet beard.

And here is a black Favorelles for comparison.

Here's a silkie

I agree, it has characteristics of both breeds!

Very pretty!!!!!!!
Then again I am a total novice...

Thank you for your reply. I'm open to anything.

I see silkie, but not faverolle. What are the parent choices?

 

[ChickenPeep]

No idea. We got her egg along with 12 others. The woman who we got them from said they were "Mixed Breed".

I can certainly see silkie but not Faverolles. The picture of a silkie you posted is a non-bearded. There are also bearded silkies and I think they're far more common. I suspect that's where her beard came from and not a Fav.

Thanks for the reply.

What do you think she's mixed with?
