What did I bring home?

[Silkiefan]

I had marked this day on my calendar two weeks ago because "they" said they'd get blue and splash Silkies in... Not only were there a small selection of black and white, (NO BLUES OR SPLASH) but I got this:

FIVE TOES LIKE A SILKIE, BUT PINK... PINK SKIN, PINK BEAK

BLACK EYELINER...

GREY BACK AND LEGS, YELLOW HEAD AND BOTTOM.
WHAT IS IT?

They do, but they also have beards. This chick appears to have a vault, which faverolles do not.

I would guess Cochin/Silkie Cross, body is shaped like a Cochin Chick, this could also account for the light skin.

its a possiblity

 

[Silkiefan]

anyone want to venture a guess at Cochin/Favorelle cross?
this chick is the same size as the Silkie chicks, so whatever it is, it's definetly bantam. It does appear to be very very fluffy... I mean it looks fatter than the Silkies because it's very plush. It doesn't have a Cochin beak, & too soon to tell if those little tiny bumps are the beginnings of a walnut comb or not. Wouldn't the black skin, toes and beak genetics of a Silkie over-ride the lighter genes of any other breed though?

I don't think so. Neither cochins or faverolles have vaults, and this chick appears to have a vault. Black skin and 5 toes are supposed to be dominant on silkies though.

What about a Houdan cross? Maybe with a cochin?
