Hey Y'all! I have had this little cutie ever since chick days, and I know she's got silky in her mix, but can someone tell me what my be the other part? The first pic is of her, and the second pic is of her and my true silky rooster next to each other. She has feathered feet, blue earlobes, although they aren't as bright as the rooster's. She also has dark colored comb. She is a little over 6 months old. She is one of my favorites! :) And she loves to talk to me!

Respectfully, I ask why do you say my silkie rooster isn't a pure silkie? I have another silkie rooster that looks exactly like the one in my picture (I have white silkie roosters). Both of them have 5 toes, blue earlobes, feathered feet, and the famously known fluffy feathers. I know they have the straight combs, but they can get that from a birds in the lineage before them, or at least that's what I read online in one of the chicken groups. I guess I know now that a walnut comb is the true comb of a pure silkie? Correct?
Correct. wrong comb, wrong head shape, and possibly wrong body type but it's hard to tell from that angle.
He could be pure silkie, just hatchery quality, meaning not a pure bloodline far enough back for the current birds to be considered pure.
