hi

[B5eatrice]

Does anyone know what breed my golden ‘silkie’ is? She has smooth feathers instead of fluff and has a different nose/tail. The person we got her off was also breeding sebrights, Orpington’s and Pekins so there could have been a mix up with the eggs??

Mix ups can and do happen. Maybe posting a picture of the one in question on this forum will help you identify what's happening:
What Breed Or Gender is This?
(You may have to wait until the silkie is older...chicks change quite a bit as they mature.)

It’s been vent sexed and is a hen.

Can you post some pics of her, so we can see what she looks like?

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Silkie chicks cannot be vent sexed as they are too small at hatch to do that.
