What Breed of Chicken is this?

[Waterwitch232]

I’ve scoured the internet plugging in the descriptive features of this chicken and I can’t find one that even looks close! We just acquired her and one white leghorn from a friend who’s moving. She was a wanderer who arrived at a nearby farm, so her past is a mystery! Is her comb supposed to be dark or is it some kind of issue?

I have no clue about the breed but that is one gorgeous chicken!

She appears to be a Silkie mix. I'm in awe of her loveliness!

I’m pretty sure a lighter brown kinda speckled egg

Hmm... I believe that Silkies lay white eggs, so that narrows her mix slightly to brown layers. That's as far as I would be able to get, LOL. Especially with you not knowing her past at all.

Yeah she’s a total mystery but I like that about her lol. Nice to finally get an idea what she might be though

Silkie cross. Probably couple generations back.
