Silver Laced Wyandotte,
Easter Egger,
Ayem Cemani, but we can guess Silkie here,
Then for the head feathers, comb, and shanks, let's say French Marans.

Definitely a mutt, I'd say. He's got so much that it's hard telling. I'm saying EE due to beard, but he could be Salmon Faverolle instead. I'm saying Wyandotte because that's the common breed known for the Silver Lacing, but other breeds can have that pattern too. The comb is very impressive, but the wattles don't line up the the breed I was thinking, but an EE could have brought down the size. The feathers next to the comb makes me think Marans or Jersey Giant, even though he's too small to be Giant. Shanks also makes me think Marans is in his bloodline, but a mutt Silkie can have that same amount of feather growth. The fibro can be Silkie too. But then again, an Ayem Cemani could be throwing both the fibro and the comb.

I was wondering if I had some Ayem Cemani genes in the lot ... here is one of the hens I think I saw someone calling this a zombie.
BTW can't see it in the picture but he has a weird split comb on the back half of his comb

Does he have a split comb at all?
He reminds me A LOT of the Polkie (silkie/polish) cockerel I had... Polish come in silver laced.
