oh ok thanks. He's beautiful just always been a mystery to me. I know my other two are. He is also bigger than my other two silkies.

Are Red Silkies supposed to be taller and have fuller tails than other Silkies?

You've just got some silkies which weren't bred to the standard of perfection, could be a mix, but likly just random breeding.
