Hiya, just wondering whether my breeding pair look like pure silkies and if so what is their colour called and could they have produced a pure white chick or is that more likely to have come from my gold coloured pekin
Thanks in advance
 
Thank you, the hen does have a 'wig' on her head, any ideas on what breed they look like, or do you think just mixed
 
Can u get a closer pic without the fence blocking the view? If they have crests (puff of feathers on top of their head) they could have silkie or polish in them..what color is their skin, how many toes and any leg feathers?
 
I blew up your pic, and just based on your boys comb, I'd say they are maybe 1/4 Silkie? But u shouldn't get a white chick from the pair, but I'm dealing with my own issue of a chick hatching a color that shouldn't be possible from.its parents either but it's here..lol..so I may not be the best answer for the question
 
You have a pair of mixed breeds. They do have silkie in them, but they aren't pure. You may get Silkie feathered chicks from them, since it's a recessive gene. But you're not going to get solid white chicks from that pair.
