Silkie? Polish? Serama? Sebright? Pekin? A bit of everything blended into one adorable tiny hen? :confused:
Tinny was sold to her previous owner as a generic bantam, and am trying to figure out what this strange little poofy bird is. Tinny is a year old.

Tinny is definitely part silkie, but I feel there is some gamebird in her as well for her teensi size and odd colouration. I suspected Serama but someone brought up Sebrights as a possibility given her colouration, which also goes well with her funky comb.
 
Looks like a golden spangled appenzeller, are you sure she's mixed?
She looks super close to a golden spangled appenzeller, but not close enough. Her tail is a bob rather than upright, and her crest looks more like a silkies compared to the Appe's punk rock look. The colouration is also similar but her neck and head are black and the black spots aren't uniform, instead looking like lacing from the neck down, chest and stomach, but becoming an almost pencilled look elsewhere. They are also quite large birds whilst Tinny is just a tad taller than my Seramas.

Edit: Her legs are also a dark gray instead of white.

Does she have feathered feet? 5 toes?

How many toes? Feathered feet?

If she does not have feathered feet and she does not have 5 toes, she is not a silkie mix. Note that she is smooth feathered (which means she either has to be an F1 silkie mix or not a recent silkie mix at all).
