Ok, so one of the very first chickens I ever got two years ago was this hen, Henny Penny. I was just going for 'neat looking' when I bought her...I was a total noob. The guy sold me five chickens and I specifically said I wanted hens and two turned out to be roosters I had to give away. Again, total noob.

She's my favorite, and everyone's favorite that comes to visit my chickens.

Super personality, not flighty, not broody in the slightest.

This is when I first got her as a youngster...



a little older...





And this was taken a week or so ago...






One of these eggs is hers and one belongs to my blue cochin...not sure which is which but they basically look the same color.



Would love to know what everyone thinks she is, thanks so much

She's adorable!

I think she's a mix of mixes. The only thing that pops out at me is she looks to have some silkie back up the tree a few generations--far enough she has the beard, head poof, dark skin and funky comb, but lost the feathered legs and likely the 5th toe--I can't tell if she has 5 toes or not. Other than that, so specific breed's jumping out.
 
id say a silkie xs ive two our of my four youngsters wynadotte x wynadotte xsilkies both are 6 weeks old they are different one fights with the other or squares up to! the other two have a play but get out of the way and arent the same. my others a light sussex was all in my front room till recently now out in a coup spent alot of time watchig them and cleaning up the poo in here so time will tell! the two that do it are different one has no comb but id red near the nose the other one i think that may be a hen is pale therex
 
Thanks guys! I had a feeling 'mix of mixes' but wasn't sure as I kept thinking 1/2 EE or something like that. Either way, I love her, she's a great layer and it doesn't really matter what mixes she is...was just curious :D
