Yard Chicken ... aka Mutt

[FaithAnn]

We have a mutt - what we called a yard chicken - that came out with a small crest on her (hopefully) head. It's not large enough to be a polish, so I was just wondering what breed could have been mixed in to give her the feathering she has on her head? Any guesses? She is about 12 weeks old now.

Probably silkie (notice darkish face?), maybe a couple of generations ago

Yeah, a Silkie mutt. I'm digging those green legs.

Thanks so much! I called the lady we got her from and she said that (1) none of her chickens had a crest (if that is the proper term, new to this) and that (2) none of her chickens were light/buff colored, so this one turned out to be a total surprise.
