Groovychook Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 My friend has just started chicken keeping and has sent a photo of her new cockerel. He's only young and not crowing yet but she'd be interested to know what breed he might be. He was given to her as a Silkie but he's nothing like my Norris, so I think we've ruled that out! I think he looks a lot like my Araucana girl but wondered what you all think (Sorry for size of photo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I think he might be an araucana cross - he shouldn't have feathered legs and his colouring is a bit suspect, ie it looks like a crossed colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 he could be a Silky cross or at least have a bit of Silky in Him there's certainly a bit of a breed that has a rose comb in the mix and it looks like he's got a bit of a crest that might be from the Araucana personally I'd say it's a cross of a cross i.e a Heinz 57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Thank you both, I'll pass that on. I was thinking Araucana crossed with something else. Maybe there is a bit of Silkie in there after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Yep, random crossbreed. Looks like a Silkie walnut comb and 5 toes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
