What breed

[Karmagarda]

Hi all,

I picked up a few eggs online last August and hatched some chick. Now the seller is no longer contactable, so wondering if you can help. What breed do you think this hen is, she just laid her first egg and its very small. Not even big enough to sit in my egg holder!

Its the small brown one in the photo beside the young cockeral. Has a wee tuft on her head similar to a silkie, but she doesn't have the fluffiness of a silkie.

Thanks in advance!
Conor

Looks like a mutt of some sort. She appears to have some lacing.

I can't see her too well but she appears to also have dark skin. I vote silkie cross.

Definitely a mutt! The eggs were sold as most likely cross breeds. They had listed the breeds of hens and roosters, but the ad has been subsequently taken down.

Can you get a closer picture?

I'll try get a closer shot and upload it tomorrow.

Yes a closer pic would be helpful

She looks exactly like some bantams we get in the Middle East. They call them Kuwaiti chickens around here.

Took a while to get a photo... short evenings has them in bed before I finish work! But i have attached 2 that are hopefully better

Definitely a mix, probably has some Silkie in her somewhere.
