The Mystery Chick! Breed possibilities?

[wayward]

So we recently just hatched a grab-bag of eggs from our own flock and from a farm down the street. The potential parents range from sex-links to Araucanas to Silkies, Leghorns, and various Reds.

Her face pattern resembles somewhat of a Husky dog. She has slight leg feathering, and splotchy orange/black skin. She stands out quite a bit among her plain tan and yellow siblings. Any clues, feather pattern projections, anything at all?

What feather footed breeds could the parents be besides silkies? and what color are they (feather footed ones) that could give me a lil more to guess on

Well there are plenty of feather-footed breeds that aren't silkies, and there's always the possibility there was another breed of parents involved. Like I said, it was a grab bag between my own flock and the farm next door.

She could be a silkie mix, but most of my mixes get the extra toes. She doesn't have them. I'm fairly certain most of the chicks are the offspring of my own Rooster or his brother next door. He's a mutt of Araucana, Silkie, and possibly Yokohama. He does have feathered legs. The mother could very possibly be a Black Star.

Oh ok well that will be interesting to see this chick grow and I'm curious, would you mind keeping us updated with pics of this cutie?

Certainly! It'll be interesting to see what she grows into.
