I was told this baby is a cream legbar, but it has grey skin and doesn't look like a cream legbar AT ALL! What is it?

That is a Silkie chick. I'm assuming you got this at TSC?
No, a local farmers market. I got a bunch of silkies from her but she specifically said this one was not a silkie.
Here is a picture of one of the silkies (excuse the chain, we took it off after a picture 🤣)

Could it be a moonbeam? Its wings, amount of fluff, and even lack of 5 toes makes it seem like it's not a silkie.

Maybe she got it mixed up or it's not pure. To me it looks just like the Silkies I've gotten from TSC, which, for those who know them, isn't quality and possibly even pure. She's definitely not as fluffy as your other Silkie, so maybe she's mixed with Cream Legbar, like maybe the chick has a Silkie father who bred with her Legbars and the seller wasn’t aware?

Yeah I didn't think of that. The grey skin makes it totally not a cream legbar. It also doesn't have a vaulted skull. Probably just not a pure silkie. Guess I'll have to wait and see what she looks like! Thank you
