hello Laura @laurathompson welcome to BYC.

I think what you've got there is a Heinz (57 varieties ). Slate shanks and a small crest is quite an unusual combo though, so it shouldn't take too much work to whittle down the options.

If you are still in touch with the person who sold or gave her to you, you could ask them too about the likely parentage.

She's a mix. Probably some Silkie Heritage.
