What breed are these chickens? *PICTURES INCLUDED*

[nanaluvsgps]

Picked up these little fellas a few weeks ago by an old lady for 10 dollars. She sold them to me as silkie x belguim d'uccle but they don't look likt that at all. all the d'uccles seem to be red and black and white spots. White one is a little roo cause he's crowing and im pretty sure the other one is a hen any ideas how old or what breed. (looks like she has mites/lice in second last pic - -it was raining

i would say EEs on them

could be originally crossed with a delaware

They do look like a silkie cross, but I don't know enough about chicken genetics to confirm "with what." I think d'uccles have a straight comb. And that white one is definitely a roo.

a silkie cross would have 5 toes

how many toes does those have OP

 

[nanaluvsgps]

only 4 toes not even a sign of another toe coming through

 

[nanaluvsgps]

these are also really tiny (max 15cm from toes to head)

Very cute!

 

[ccshambhala]

They certainly look like they could be d'uccle/silkie crosses to me - they have that poof on the head that a lot of silkiesx have and they have the small size and feathered legs of the d'uccle. Very cute whatever they are!

I would actually expect them to have much heavier leg feathering and more pronounced beards if they were D'Uccle/Silkie plus they should have a bit odder comb. I would actually lean more towards Silkie/Brahma crosses with their features.

They look like d'uccle silkie mixes to me. The beard/muffs and high tail set look d'uccle like to me.
