Unknown breed!

Hear me out, Partridge Rock mixed with something crested... I really see the partridge

I was thinking Partridge Cochin X CCLB. At least in there somewhere.

Oooh, good call. I wonder if it's not CCLB due to the cream eggs. Absolutely could be Partridge Cochin though, forgot about them

You get the occasional Legbar that lays white eggs. Do Cochin lay tinted? I don’t have any so don’t know. Lol.

Very fascinating! I forgot to mention that some of them were born with feathered legs! not too many feathers tho. Strange mix for sure lmao.

That too could be due to lineage with one of the many other feather legged breeds. I have several with everything from heavy feathering to what looks more like stubble. My original crosses with my Spitzhauben included Light Brahma. Those hens had little whispy crests and lightly feathered legs. I also crossed him to a Partridge patterned Easter Egger.....that resulted in a rooster. That rooster bred onward now can give me colored/patterned offspring based more closely on what the hens colors/patterns were. I suppose because the silver from the original Spitzhauben has been diluted to the point it no longer masks like it did.
I am not one of the people on here that is super knowledgeable in genetics. I play some and love the Chicken Calculator to explore my options with what I have.....cause it's fun!

I guess what I'm trying to say in a too long of post is.....
partridge pattern, a whispy mini crest, feathered legs, cream eggs......there could be ALOT of breeds and crosses and re crosses that went into them. That's not a bad thing! Some of us love the fun and funky chickens!

Welsummer somewhere would be one of my guesses.

Got the female and male when they were babies at a local veterinary! Then they mated and all the hens look the same. Some of them have more of a red colors and other ones are golden. And they have long feathers in the head! I realized some of them have a couple of white feathers too.

I love the color of those eggs!!
