Help. What breed is this?

Does anyone know what breed the lighter hen is here? Her skin/earlobes were shades of purples and blues. Very pretty. Dying to know.

She looks like a Silkie cross. Very pretty.

I'd say Silkie cross as well.

Silkie cross? Really? Someone on another page suggested a mosaic.

Firstly people frequently jump to conclusions based on the popularity of fad breeds. So a lot of people will say she's a mosaic because those are popular currently and she does have some similar traits. Her crest; however, would be the deciding factor for me that she is not a Mosaic. Silkies on the other hand are crested and have dark skin and blue earlobes. I do find it odd that she has four toes and not five (which Silkie crosses often have) and no feathering on her legs (again a Silkie trait). But it is much more likely that she is a Silkie cross than a Mosaic cross. She isn't a pure Mosaic because they are not available in a crested variety. If she is part Mosaic, chances are she also has Cream Crested Legbar in her to get the crest.

I actually do see very light feathering on the legs, which contributed to my assessment.

So she does. I'd just popped three Benadryl in the office and was struggling to stay awake, much less ID a bird. lol
