It has an odd comb and a very puffy head! I don't know what it is! It doesn't have feathered feet, so I'm clueless. Here are some of his friends. Same puff-heads but totally different-looking comb.

Or are you just trying to play a riddle game ?

My girl is silike/cochin cross and feathered in that way...although she did not end up getting that silkie poof. She has black feet/beak, pea comb and 5 toes and feathers are a mix of hairy and regular feathers.
