What breed is my hen?

[Herittavityuk]

So I recently got a chicken from a friend who found this girl roaming in her yard and since she couldn’t keep her I took her in.

She’s a very small hen, probably under 5 pounds and she has feathered feet. I’ve looked everywhere and I can’t find out what breed she is? Can anyone help me out?

She's a silkie cross and very pretty. Probably some dark Brahma bantam in her mix, too, and something with a single comb and white earlobes, like Leghorn. If she's the only chicken you have, she would love a companion. They don't like being alone.

I’ve studied breeds for a few months now but I don’t know...

She has a crest, feathered feet and double lacing...
She is crazy cute though!
I’d snap her up in a second if nobody wanted her lol.

thanks for your answer! And yes we are actually planning on getting chicks next week, the only thing I’m worried about is if the chicks grow to be bigger then this hen would that cause problems or aggression between them?

Not necessarily. If they are introduced as youngsters then things should be fine, so long as the hen isn't too aggressive towards them. Introducing larger, full grown birds could be a problem.

The feet.... five toes …. silky DNA in there with perhaps a Brahma or Cochin cross.

Really cute. Love the face. And you just can’t say that about most chickens

On scales.

I realize that was a dumb question hah I figured but I thought maybe there’s a way someone might do it otherwise...
