Hen sex change..

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.

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?

 

[Painted Calls]

I don’t think they’re 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.

I'm from the UK..

 

[Chicalina]

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.

Aww geez not this again.

You thinking it was a leghorn has thrown your perspective, because you were waiting for a giant floppy red comb. That's not going to happen because he doesn't have that comb type.

I think he is something mixed with a silkie. That little crest and the comb and the shape. He is a very handsome boy.

Not a silkie, or he'd have dark skin, and feathered legs.

Not true…..silkie mixes can result in clean legs, yellow legs, and 4 toes And that is in an F1 cross. Beyond that, who knows.
