My money is on a silkie or legbar mix, possibly with white rock, wyandotte or Rhode Island white.

For comparison, here are two of my silkie wyandotte mixes. These two had feathered feet, but their siblings did not.

I've since been in touch with the breeder and he's thinking araucana/leghorn mix. Which would explain the comb and crest..

That mix would not explain the crest. Neither breed have crests.

British tailed araucanas have crests.

Do they have those here? Thought OP was in the US?

I don’t think that breed is in the US. If the OP mentioned where they live, I must have missed it.

I may be the one wrong here. Been through a lot of threads today. No location on their profile though I see.

yes, Araucanas here have crests. They aren't very common. Legbars are more so.

Great that you've got info from the breeder. That's helpful!

Then the breeder is most likely correct on breed.
