WHAT AM I ?!?

[mightymax]

Hi There,
I got this little feathered legged bantam about 6 months ago and was told she was a pullet. Well, long story short, she's a cockerel, and that's fine, it's just now I'm not sure whether to fully trust the breeder on what breed 'she' is or not. I know he's feather legged, pea combed (mulberry color), bearded, possibly bred with a frizzle or smooth coated reverse frizzle silkie and how do I know for sure. Am I close...? Any help would be appreciated as he is a beauty and very friendly and I would like to breed him with my painted silkies, but don't know what to call the outcome. Thanks in advance. See the two pictures below for help with identification.

Looks like maybe a silkie/brahma cross. Unfortunately there is no way of knowing for sure unless you know what the parents were. Or maybe a silkie/cochin cross. Maybe someone with more experience can help you out

Yep looks like a Silkie cross, maybe with a Cochin. He's a beautiful rooster with birchen feathering.

Mixed breed rooster, probably with Silkie in him. Very pretty little bird!
