Mix Silkie and...? Please help identifying possible mix

Could it be a partridge silky?

I'm not sure if there were any silkie hens in there. Also wouldn't the single comb be wrong for a pure silkie?

Yes, silkies have either a walnut comb or a modified rose comb. I wouldn't expect a single comb in a silkie mix, either, though, both rose comb and pea comb are to some degree dominant, most likely this chick's comb is a modified pea comb, which on a chick sometimes looks like a small single comb.

Ooh you're right. I totally missed the bit about the single comb!

RC is beginning to feather out in an interesting pattern. We are excited. She is a very flighty little bird, a little road runner for sure. Thought perhaps this may aid those with more experience in identification. I know it's still early days yet.

Just curious if you every figured out what this chick is mixed with? I have a chick that looks just like that. It doesn't have the 5 toes like a silkie but I had other chicks that looked like it with the 5 toes and the person I got the eggs from definitely had silkies.

she was definitely a silkie mix. Unfortunately we had a MG outbreak last year and culled all birds, including this chick, soon after I made this original post.

Oh no, sorry to hear. Mine is 4 weeks old and starting to feather out so I really hope I can figure out what it is. Like I said I had others that looked like it and some of them had 5 toes so I'm fairly certain it came from the same parent as those so it must be part silkie.

What is MG anyway, I'm kinda new to chickens and trying to learn all I can about them. I really had no idea id like chickens so much!
