Foster Chicken

[drinkguiness]

Our neighbor across the alley had two chickens, but one was eaten by a fox. With only one left, that chicken decided to join my flock, so we now have a foster chicken, so to speak. She looks pretty interesting, but I've been unable to find out what breed she is. Do any of you have any ideas?

some sort of creasted mix looks like she might have some silkie or polish in her

Can you post a pic of her legs or describe them for us? Looks like a polish mix, do you know what color egg she lays?

I agree on either Polish or Silkie mix.
Does she have feathered legs? 5 toes? From the color of her skin I'd lean a bit more toward Silkie mix.

from what I can make out looks like the legs are dark olive - and no feathers in the lower part of the leg or outer toe. Shes a crested breed, probably silkie, polish, or sultan - something that is crested and bearded X probably an EE - that super full beard is most likely the result of 2 bearded breeds. I'm pretty certain on the EE being half of her, the beard, just the over all look, and her size. shes a pretty large bird if thats a standard RIR or Production Red beside her.

her pattern is considered partridge (wild type)

Though if theres 5 toes on 1 or both feet - silkie cross.

She is beautiful! I have a similar looking bantam chicken who is a silkie X OEGB

I vote Polish/Silkie mix. This is one of my boys about 5 months old.
