I realize this question might be a hard one not knowing my birds' individual genetics, but I wanted to ask anyway. The father of the pullet who laid this egg is a Silkie. But I don't know who the mother is, but I am thinking it is one of just 3 hens: either a Green Queen bantam ( who lays turqouise eggs), a Fibro Easter Egger ( who lays greenish blue eggs, or a Mottled Cochin bantam ( lays light pink/pink beige eggs. Does anyone have a guess as to which breed the mother of this egglayer could be?

It might be easier to guess if you included pictures of the pullet in question and the possible parents.

The possible mothers of the egglayer....1 mottled cochin bantam, 2 fibro egger, 3 is green queen bantam. The father, a white silkie, is no longer with us

It's not the cochin due to comb type, skin color and feather pattern, it could be 2 but she's not as fluffy and doesn't have a beard or heavily feathered legs.
Was your silkie roo bearded?
Ah, okay. No, he wasnt bearded. He had black skin.
