This little sweetheart I rescued from a barn clear-out. I love her markings but Im unsure what mix she is.
the photos are of her at 5 days old.
she is a flighty little thing with a very pretty chirrup and not a full blown cheep like my silkies, she has white fluff on her legs and her legs are just normal if not a bit darker than normal chicken legs.
She is a bantam and has the beginnings of a very, very big plume of tail feathers.

Im thinking maybe a Gold Sebrights mix with Sumatra in there?





 
I've just spoken to the breeder/barn owner and she said she is a showgirl/silkie mix! how cute!

I do hope she doesn't develop the naked neck of a show girl though.

Wow, really? I just don't see that chick being that mix of chicken. I guess it's possible but I've never seen one that started out like that!
 
I was suspecting Silkie cross on this one from the black pigment in the legs and the shape of the head.

Where do you see the legs? Cause I sure don't see them. I have never seen them that small so I guess it's possible. Let us know what it turns out to be. I'm really interested in knowing!

yes her neck is definitely long and only slightly feathered, probably baby fluff.
she is definitely getting fluffier and starting to look more like my blue silkie who is 2 days younger.
now you have mentioned it her leg fluff is exactly the same as the baby silkies and her feet much, much darker than the Sussex and Wyandotte.

oh well, if she ends up with a naked neck I will have to knit her a scarf!

I'll keep this thread open with growing up pictures so we can see what happens
