I am thinking pullet but want other opinions.
Early on I thought she was blue laced red (with pencilling?).... now I have no clue.

Is she blue laced red?
Blue and red partridge?
Mottled? Some combination of all of the above?

Also, is she even a she?

I was told she was a cochin/sablepoot mix (initially just told cochin then was told roo was sablepoot). Then looking at he she definitely looks part silkie. They also keep silkies so I’m thinking she’s cochin/silkie or sablepoot/silkie. Even her comb looks walnut so I definitely see silkie. (Not to mention 5 toes, grey beak, fluffy feather texture, and her crest + partial beard)

The neat thing is her coloring though. Can anyone identify it?

100% a male, and is a mutt.
 
Mixed color due to mixed breed. You have a cockerel.
I have lately thought she might be a he which is why I posted the gender question. I am not surprised. She was sold to me as 100% cochin female 😂 So was the other little mille fleur (as an egg the lady gave me when I was picking up the chick). I don't mind, though. I love the little mutts.

Their colors are beautiful, and their crests are so cute. I like them better than pure cochins. Also they're so sweet, inquisitive, and the small mille fleur one is an excellent flyer (from the old english game bird genes, I'm guessing).

They're adorable, so I am happy they turned out to be what they are instead of cochins haha
 
Background info - the woman who sold them to me thought that sablepoot and old english game were the same as cochins. I think she had the word cochin mixed with the word bantam. In the end, when I saw what they looked like, I began asking questions and got to the bottom of the possible breeds they could be.
