What type of chicken is this?

[Free_Range_MA]

Hi!

My wife and I got six Silkie chicks and this little one was in the mix. The guy said it was a blue silkie, but as they have gotten bigger, we can definitively say it is not.

Any ideas on what type of chicken it is?

Hi, welcome to BYC!

Lavender or splash (still developing) mix breed... either Silkie or Ameraucana cross.... cockerel (depending on age).

I think that is a rose comb though...

Cute chicken.

Agree it's the d'Anvers, and a pretty one! I love that dark gray speckling on the back of the head against the rose colored comb.
