I picked up some silkies from a breeder here in the Missouri area and got 3 chicks that he said will be pied and 2 that will be spangled, I cannot for the life of me find any pictures of what a Pied Silkie will look like. Does anyone have a picture of what one will look like, heck I cant even really find a good picture of a Pied chicken in general haha. Same goes for the spangled silkies. If anyone has ideas or pictures, would be greatly appreciated.

I bought some splashes from him before and they def aren't splash. These have little dots.

Oh how's cool is that?! I was speaking from experience, but if you've bought from him before that's different. Pied will still look very similar to a splash. The spangled will become blacker with age if it works like the Hamburg breed.
 
pied=piebald (think dairy cow)
spangled=dotted (think Dalmatian)

Was the breeder Heartland Hatchery by chance? If so, it should come out looking somewhat like a splash, but each color will be more defined rather than blending in like a splash. The Spangled silkies are similar to The Pied silkies except the color splashes are smaller and appear more frequently.
 
Hi there!
I know this is an old thread, but it’s the absolute only thing I can find on pied and spangled silkies! Even better that it’s on a forum that I belong to!

You wouldn’t by chance have a current picture of what they turned out like, would you? Ive been making a list of what chicks I’m wanting from (wait for it) heartland hatchery and saw they had the pied and spangled!
I have a true grey and wanted one with a different color now...against the hubbys wishes :D
