New to BYC and don't know my chickens!!

[Waffle]

Hi there, I am just wondering if anyone can tell me what breed my chicken is. We were told she was a silkie but now I am pretty sure she isn't as we now are the proud owners of a white silkie rooster. We also own a little black bantam hen and a white hen. She I am pretty sure is a Heinz 57!






So this is Silkie!! I thought she was a cross breed of some sort till the other day i went to a new friends house and she has a few chickens too. And low and behold she has one identicle to ours. They are so into their chickens and must have thought me crazy as I went nuts!! I was super excited lol so please help and let me know what our loving little chicken is.

Yes it is a silkie- it has 5 toes. But it looks like it is mixed with something else- a side view of the feathers would be good. But silkies have 5 toes, and it looks like yours does.

Great thanks guys so silkie is fine for a name then lol lol Its hard to get a pic of the side feathers as usually she is in the arms of my kids!! She is such a sweetheart when it comes to them. Although she is not a happy chick right now as she was brooding with my Black bantam and I had to take her out as she ripped a chick and then someone in the pen ate it! yuk. However we are now the proud owners of 6 silkie cross chicks. The last two hatched yesterday :0D
