What breed is this?

[SummerChick]

Does anyone know what breed this is? The person i bought her from said she was Araucana but is she? Her legs are blackish and she has a feathery tuft on the top of her head. Black eyes and beak. Any thoughts are much appreciated.

I'm guessing mix.

Easter Egger?

The head makes me think she has silkie in her from somewhere...... just the tuft and the general shape of it plus her colouring is common in silkies.....

I agree and dark skin too. With white earlobes, maybe crossed with a brown leghorn? What does her comb look like? And how many toes?

Anyhow, definitely not araucana.

Definitely a mix. I agree w/ everyone else.

Most certainly not an Araucana.

Looks to me like a Silkie x Easter Egger.

I doubt that is what this is, since the person the OP got it from said it is Ameraucana, it is most likely an EE crossed with a Silkie that gave it the tuft on its head. Also, Legbars is, like Taylor said, a very rare breed, and the EE is a very commonly occurring mix of chicken that people have a hard time deciding on what they are. Speckledhen, I think, just posted one who looks very similar to this one with the same tuft on its head and it was a Silkie mix as well. It would be cool to have some Legbars though, wouldn't it?
