What breed is my hen?

[Wolfefarmyard]

Hello, I have a bantam hen that I recently purchased but I just can't seem to figure out what breed she is. Please help me out. She has super feathery legs.

He is a Cochin and is not a hen he is a cockerel

No, she is definitely a hen. She lays eggs. And I don't think she is a Cochin, as we have a black bantam Cochin and she looks nothing like her.

I'm also going to say buff bantam Cochin cockerel, lovely coloration too.

She has pointy saddle feathers which is a male trait

Do you have him/her in with any other birds? Have you actually seen it lay an egg?

Yes, I have seen her sit in the nesting boxes and leave an egg behind. Plus she does not crow

She's actually a pretty good layer and lays almost every day. But I was thinking that maybe she could be mixed with a silkie?

I know she has pointed saddle feathers but it is most definitely a hen, that's why I'm wondering if there is some silkie in her
