I'm stumped on Sylvia's breed...

[whitneywpanetta]

I posted a little over a week ago, but am hoping with better fully body pictures and her a little older I will get more feedback! I was told she was a silkie, but obviously that is out. She has fully feathered feet, only four toes, a small head compared to my other chicks, black and brown semi fluffy feathers, and a wide, flat comb. Her comb has gotten a lot bigger in the last week, is she a she? She is approx. 5-6 weeks old. The only two breed guesses I have gotten are a cochin/silkie mix and a Mille Fleur. Although I feel like she would be much smaller than the rest if she was a bantam...




Sylvia with our 5-6 week old frizzle and 3 week old EE. I am hoping all 4 of my chicks are girls!












Thanks for the help!

Not sure....maybe Cochin? I know one thing..........SHE'S ADORABLE.

She is a Cochin/Silkie mix.

She is a Cochin/Silkie mix.

Yeah she kinda has a Silkie look too.

Looks like a Cochin/Silkie mix to me.

I agree! And she is feisty, she has tons of personality. My hub calls her furry legs her boots.. I love it!

I like this consensus. So if she is a silkie blend she has fluffy potential? Is she looking like a she?

Yes she's looking like a girl.

A first generation Silkie cross will have normal feathers. With a comb that large, I am thinking she is a he, but I can't be 100% sure.

ETA: I love your little Frizzle.

Thank you! I LOVE our frizzle (Harold Crick). I posted last week with concerns she was a he, I can see wattles coming in and her comb is pinkish. So far I have pullet guesses... but only time will tell. I would be very bummed if the frizzle and silkie (or silkie/cochin) turned into boys, those were the two breeds I really wanted!
