What is it? Polish? Swedish Flower? Mix?

I'm going to have to disagree with Donrae on this one, usually I agree with what she says but the legs are just not the right color for a polish chicken. It's possibly a mixed breed, not to sure but I highly doubt it's all polish!
 
Yeah Polish and Houdans are all white skinned breeds therefore blue or yellow legs only besides black or mottled white legs.

This has YELLOW legs. Perhaps Swedish and Polish mix, second generation or more down?
 
If it's a hatchery chick non standard coloring in the legs is more normal than not. I had Crevacoeurs from Ideal with totally the wrong color legs so a polish with wrong color legs isn't a surprise. The bird in the picture has completely the wrong body shape and coloring to be even anywhere near resembling a Swedish Flower so it's doubtful it has any of that breed in her. However, I have seen plenty of non standard hatchery versions of black white crested polish or mottled to easily assume it's very possible that that is what the bird is.Also considering that there are many more polish out there than Swedish Flowers also makes it more likely the bird is a polish.

Thanks for the explanation, I didn't know that they could have yellow legs! I apologize to Donrae since it looks like she was right!
 
She is very cute, a veritable diva! Zsa zsa Gabor even..hehe. You should try getting her a mirror sometime. Chickens love looking at their own reflection.
