Silkie cross?

[Farmer Curt]

Hi all,
My wife and I just got a few new Silkies in and we got another small bird that looks like it MIGHT be a cross between a Silkie (based just on size) and some other breed that I don’t know. Can anyone offer some help identifying this black and gold bird?

Thanks!

Definitely a silkie cross but with what I am unsure. I have several silkie crosses that sport that same "hairdo". My silkie cross come out completely beyond what I would expect based on the parents so there's no telling exactly. Maybe someone else will come along with a better guess. She's beautiful though I love her colors. She kinda reminds me of an unknown breed hen I currently have.

That is an adorable silkie mix!

Your mystery bird is a Silkie Cross.

Silkie cross most likely with cochin. I had one that looked kind of similar, but had more lacing, as the father was a Golden Laced Cochin.
