Need help identifying breed & color

[chickenducker]

Hello everyone,
I bought this adorable chick from our local feed store and they ensured me it was a Bantam Silkie; however, as she gets bigger, I'm thinking they were wrong since she doesn't have the attributes of a Silkie. She doesn't have black skin, she only has 4 toes, she has feathers, and no poofiness to her head. I'm thinking she might be a barred Cochin? Can anyone help to identify her for sure?

Thanks!

That looks like a Barred Cochin to me. Feed stores often make mistakes like that.

Yes feed stores often make mistakes like that. Your cute little chicks is a barred cochin.

I love your avatar! I have that same saying on my bedroom door!

What kind of feed store employee would think a chick like that was a silkie - truly boggles the mind? The chick you have is a beauty . Didn't he guarantee a certain sex as well?

So glad you decided to join.

Whatever she is, she is quite a cutie. I hope she works out to remain a member of your flock.

No clue, I wondered the same thing myself. I guess that's what happens when they hire high school kids as their chicken experts :/
I don't recall if they were supposed to be sexed or straight run. I'm hoping it's a female though, I don't want any more roosters!
