Hi - we were told white silkie cockerel and light sussex hen. We had one hatch who was clearly a cockerel (the little white one in the first photo) but we simply assumed the goldie were all girls.
Is this one likely to be a rogue egg that got into the clutch by mistake, do you think? Is he a buff or partrige silkie (and what is the difference)?
I doubt it was a White Silkie x Light Sussex, because then where would the buff come from? That cross would not produce sex-links. Red or Buff Silkie x Light Sussex would make sex-links. If the bird in question is six months old, s/he should start laying or crowing very soon.
That white chick looks very different from the others. Bigger, light colored legs, camera shy (just kidding, LOL 
), and his down looks different too. I bet there was some mix up with the eggs, that's my best guess.
