Dude you got me on that one!!! Dad was either a RIR, an Ameraucana or a Silkie, and mom could have been anything, most likely a Bo of white leghorn because of the color. My birds are all mixed, with the exception of the new OEG's, and after the massacre, I just grabbed eggs and set them in hopes of replacing Roadie. He was a beautiful RIR roo. RIP.

Not a Silkie cross - Does it have a single or rose comb?

. . . Or a walnut comb? (looks folded and weird at this age )

Honey it's only a week old. I have to wait a bit before I start speculating on a Dad. It has barely any comb. LOL!

"Honey" I can tell a comb type from birth. . . I wanna figure out the mystery, so help me out here!

btw, do you have any mottled birds in your flock? It honestly looks like an Exchequer coloring (mottled w/dom white)

I have one banty cochin, but she is totally black so I think she missed the mottled gene. And this chick is not banty!!!

You have to get a magnifying glass to see those teensy combs sometimes, Deb.

My bet is on Leghorn mother

because this chick reminds me of a California White chick.
