Help IDing the breed of a recent addition to the flock

[42Hens]

So I recently took in a group of hens that are all various barnyard mixes, but most I have a pretty good idea of the parentage... but there's one I'm still not sure on, and that would be this lovely lady

Leaning towards a Marans and Crested Cream Legbar mix but was wondering if you fine people had any thoughts on her!

I am NO good at this, but she is very pretty! Her feathers are so shiny!

She is! I've only had her for a couple days and she's already a favorite, which is part of why I'm so curious about her!

I think she might have some silkie blood that gives her facial skin that slight purplish color. Not a first generation silkie cross, though, and just a guess.

It looks like these girls need treatment for leg mites.

Looks like she has a bit of silkie inside her and maybe black copper Maran too

Silkie mix.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll get that checked out for certain.

And thanks for the insight everyone, I've never had silkies but looking at some pictures online that certainly seems like a good call

Very cute looks like a silkie cross to me
