Tiny Mutant Chicken

[nurse_turtle]

I hatched this chicken 5 months ago. She was hatched with other eggs which were silkie/Polish mix. She has 4 toes and black legs. There were no game chickens at the location these eggs came from. She is adorable and super sweet, just tee tee tiny. Her name is "Lil-bit". She looks gamey to me but has a dark face and comb. She's a mutt, but comments regarding her breed are appreciated. In the pictures, she is roosting on my daughter's chest.

Cute pictures. I don't see any Silkie or Polish in her. She is very cute, and I agree about her looking like a game.

Awww she's a cutie!

Sorry I can't help with the breed

If they didn't keep oegbs wherever you got your eggs from, I'd say some sneaky little guy came a'callin in secret...

I see green sheen on her feathers in the last pic and she has some copper feathering on her neck. My guess would be a black copper mirans cross?

She's adorable!!

If all her skin is black, she probably has some silkie ancestry. I have a tiny 12 oz hen who looks nothing like a silkie type-wise, but has silkied feathers, VERY dark skin, slight foot feathering, 4 toes, no crest. Smallest other breeds I ever had that could have been in her parentage were bantam araucana and d'uccle. She is smaller than all of them, and does not match any in type. Heck, all of them could be in her background--she was not a planned hatch, but is a sweet enough bird that she will stay here as a pet.

There is no silkie or Polish in the recent background of that bird. Someone is pulling a fast one on you if they tell you otherwise.
