Polish Silkie Mix

[Crazy for Chickens!]

It's not mixed. If it were, it would have feathers on the legs.
Hatchery birds may be poor quality at times, but they aren't mixed with other breeds.
This chick is full polish. Eye size, face, and crest size all vary within a bird.

It may very well be a Spitzhauben or just a very poor hatchery quality Polish. A silky cross would have 5 toes on each foot and leg feathering to some degree.

I second this. It is a silver laced Polish chick. Coloring is wrong for a Spitzhauben.

I just hatched out a half silkie half California white, white feathers, skin, and four toes. My only roo in the big coop is a silkie. Everyone else is laying. Genetic anomaly?
*edit* one foot has 4 toes, one foot has 5 toes with one under another. Wierd.

It's going to be a very pretty baby anyway

Silver laced polish as some have said. Now I'm curious what your other polish chick's colour is. Did it come from the same bin?

Yes they came from the same bin. I'm guessing buff laced but really clue.
