What Brred am I?

Darn. Sorry! I should have asked egg color first.
He is absolutely beautiful!

It was a cream/tan color...not the dark color of a FBCM nor was it blue.

Does he have any extra toes?

My vote is Silkie or Polish in the mix, based on egg color and his awesome little hat. But not a 50/50 mix, more like 25% crested in your bird

Oh...now the silkie makes sense....the gal I got the egg from raised silkies... and then...the other part FBCM???

Does he have any extra toes?

You know...I don't remember.. I'll have to check tonight. He does have feathers on his legs like a silkie... hmmm....

I was trying out my incubator with a couple of fertile eggs I received. He looks like a Black Copper Marans...but not sure if he is only a BCM or a barnyard mix. Any ideas? He is also much smaller than hens his age...5mos. View attachment 1474398 View attachment 1474399

Barnyard mix. I do have a list of breeds he could be from, but they are all far too rare to just be able to pick up hatching eggs for

The silkie part kinda makes sense as he has been smaller than all his coop mates. 5 toes may even confirm it.

I've always thought he was a barnyard mix. He's so darn pretty...thought....maybe he could be a FBCM...

He is probably a FCBM mix, he has the right coloring

FBCM should have feathered legs and feet as well!
