What am I??

This chick is 18 days old. I know what egg it came out of, small cream egg, and the seller marked what it is supposed to be. Any thoughts?

Looks like some kind of silkie cross.

Silkie cross

The eBay seller said she only had one rooster, a booted, bearded Bantam Mille Fleur. The egg was labelled Sebright.
I looked at the auction info. She does have a white silkie hen.

What's weird is this guy has no leg feathers. Since both his parents theoretically had feathered legs, that's odd.

Yes, I thought it was odd, too. Sebrights have clean legs, but it just doesn't look like I expected.

There was definitely a silkie involved, for sure. The skin color, the five toes, the crest, the muffs, etc, are all silkie traits. D'uccles don't have most of those traits, and neither do sebrights. So, it definitely wasn't what the egg seller thought it was, for sure!

 

[Jules929]

Oh, I forgot to mention, it has 5 toes.

Thank you both for your input! I guess she mislabeled the egg!

I agree, it's an adorable silkie mix.
