Faverolle or Sultan?

[jas humbert]

Iv'e never owned a sultan but I've owned faverolles and silkies. It could well be either an off color faverolle or some kind of silkie mix. My money is on silkie mix. You loose most or all of the silkie fluff in the first generation outcross and mixes can have any colors skin and legs. Silkies and favrolles are both supposed to have 5 toes. Crosses can have 4 toes on one foot and 5 on the other or any combination thereof. This may just be one of those wait and see things.

I have Sultans. Does not look like a Sultan, to me....no beard, no muffs.

That's true, Connie A. Purebred silkies (the bearded ones at least) have enough beard to be recongnizable as chicks. My faverollle didn't look so muffy until she grew real feathers. So back to some kind of silkie cross as my first guess.
