New Here! I rescued 3 hens in January after all the fires. We have one Plymouth Barred Rock, One Rhode Island Red and one Australorp (I believe).

Since we adopted the three chickens, we fell in love with them.

On July 10th, I picked up three baby chicks that a breeder dropped off at a local feed store earlier that morning. I told her I wanted Silkie's and asked what colors would be there (no response). I decided to go and was told to look for hair on their feet to find silkies. After picking up several chicks the gal helped me pick three. When I got home, I noticed one does not have fur on the feet but a beautiful crest. The smallest has fur on the feet but a very small crest (I thought it might be small due to age).The all gray one seems to be a pure silkie. I sent pictures to the breeder, no response. I think one might be polish? The breeder breeds Bobtails, Cochins, Show Girls, Polish and Silkies. It has beautiful coloring but no idea what its called. I would appreciate your thoughts on breed and colors. Thank you!
