Faverolle or Sultan?

[Cole Campbell]

Got this cutie from the bantam bin at Tractor supply. Initially I had decided on her being a Sultan but now as she’s getting older she’s getting color in her wings and I’m just not convinced anymore. I’m thinking she’s a faverolle. Anybody have any ideas?

I would say it’s a favorelle , I’ve never seen a buff sultan before, also the color of that chick is off for a favorelle just hatchery stock at its finest ! Beautiful chick though !

The only Sultans you're going to find in America are pure white. That's likely a faverolle OR a bantam silkie sex link female.

Neither a Faverolle or Sultan. Looks like a Silkie mix.

I think it's a bantam silkie based red sex link.

I was under the impression that silkies had to have black skin and beaks to be a silkie. I’m guessing that doesn’t apply when they are mixed? Sorry I’m still new to silkies!

No hatchery has bantam Faverolles, let alone buff ones. Not right for a silkie either. What kind of comb does it have?

Welcome!
Find out where the store sources their chicks, and then what breeds that hatchery carries. That should help a lot.
Sort of like an off type Silkie?

Crosses can lack the black skin.
