Silkie and what?

[Coffeebean1947]

This pretty light colored

babies dad is a black silkie. Her mom is either a barred rock, a white crested black polish, or a barnvelder.
Any guesses??
Edit: She only has 4 toes

Barred rocks are pretty big for Silkies, but I know they can make it work! But at this young age I would guess a Polish or the Barnevelder. It will becime clearer as the chick ages.
Just realized.... what color egg did it hatch from???
Barnevelders lay dark browm eggs, Barred Rocks lay lightish brown, and Polish lay white. Thats the best indicator there!

Thanks for responding! My polish lays a chalky light brown egg as does my barred rock but just light brown not chalky. My barnvelders eggs vary greatly in color. The egg in question was under my broody silkie when two hatching babies got crushed so the egg was filthy and I'm not entirely sure the shade of brown it was.
My barnvelder is huge and the eggs I'm 100% are hers were all fertile though

Gold laced barnie, or silver?

I'm guessing this one's mother is the polish, but maybe not...

Thanks for responding! Gold laced. The polish is what I'm guessing/hoping. I'm so excited, she is the only not black chick so far.

I'm going with the polish then. Time will tell when those feathers come in

Any of the chicks that have light colored legs are cockerels. Since a Silkie cock x yellow legged hens yield sex links. Males will hatch out with light colored legs and pullets will have dark legs and skin.

Well that figures Lol does it matter that one potential mother has dark legs?

The chicks from the Polish hen won’t be sex links.

Then I really hope it's from the polish!
