Icelandic? Mutt? Something else?

This is Poppy who started laying medium sized light tan eggs last week. Thought she could be Icelandic, but she doesn't have the crest. (The farm she came from raises numerous breeds, including Icelandics.)

Poppy now (about 24-26 weeks)

Poppy at about 16-18 weeks

What other breeds does that farm carry?

See link to Sugar Feather Farm. I also emailed the owner today to ask.

Make sure to update us when they reply : D I think you're probably right that it's either a non-crested Icelandic, Icelandic mix, or another mix from their farm, but Icelandic or Icelandic mix seems to fit pretty well ^^

Kinda hoping she's Icelandic, at least in part. My husband and I have traveled to Iceland several times. I didn't buy an Icelandic originally because they like to free range and I have to limit her time out of the run because of predators.

Non crested or mix is my best bet.

Sugar Feather Farm's owner tells me she's a Favaucana. (Faverolles/Amarucana mix) I remember her telling me this when I picked her up, but she doesn't fit the usual characteristics. I trust what I'm told, so Favaucana it is!

She has the white skin and something of the color of a Favaucana, but I wouldn't have guessed that, either. No beard, no feathered legs, no 5th toe. She's very pretty, in any case.

That would be a mix. I'm of the mind set you can't hyphen names of birds to the breeds that went into it unless it breeds true. Ya know, it's a mixed breed not a named breed. Example of a breed that is hyphened would be all the "something"-bar breeds like Rhodebar or Crested Cream Legbar or....the list goes on. Those are breeds that denote foundation in name.
