Don't know my chickens breed

[Kristal Morgan]

Last year I bought some chicks from the "mixed bantam" bin at tractor supply. I've been able to figure out what breeds they are except one. She looks similar to a silver laced Wyandotte, but her feather pattern seems unique to me. See attached photo. Any ideas? Mixed breed? If so, what possible mixes?

Are her legs feathered or clean(not feathered)? What color are her legs?

That is most likely a silver laced wyandotte bantam

Yellow feet with feathers.

She as a single comb. Don't Wyandottes have rose combs?

How about a silver laced bantam cochin if she has a single comb and yellow feathered legs?
A better photo of her standing in the open would help to confirm.

Or more likely a silver pencilled bantam cochin

I'm starting to think she's a silver pencilled bantam Cochin and white laced Wyandotte mix.
She's hatching eggs right now, but once she's out of the coup again I'll get a better picture.

She's unlikely to be a mix if she has come from a hatchery, just not a good example of her breed, which may be why you think she is a mix. I would assume Tractor Supply order their chicks in from a large hatchery.

I emailed tractor supply to see where they get their chicks but they haven't replied yet.

If she is a mix I'd like to breed more like her. She's very docile, a great layer, a good mama and the softest hen I have. Not to mention she's beautiful.

I agree she is a beauty.
