Silkie and what?

[AppMtnChickens]

I have this rooster that I bought from a friend, he is part silkie, but I'm not sure what else. He has the extra toes, a head tuft, and blue skin near his ears. I am just curious what y'all think he is mixed with! Btw he is very mellow, and allows me to pick him up. His name is San Fransisco!

I'm thinking he's part bantam

Bantam is not a breed, its a size, he is of course a bantam as Silkies are bantam, if he is part silkie, he is a bantam ^^

I think you should ask the friend to see if they knew the breed mix... I wanna say aside from Silkie, Welsummer, Easter Egger, or Ameraucana. But I'm unsure. With his coloring and feather patterns, it is hard to tell!

I do know it's a size..but it's from the Bantam family somewhere..

Something with a single comb. Anything with a pea or walnut comb would have given this fella a different comb.

Possibly crossed with Old English Game Bantam?

He also has a really weird split comb, and this is his coloring!

Almost looks like he has scaly leg and comb mite issues
