Weird feathers

[ShellLea]

Anyone know what's going on here? Two week old chick from Ideal. No idea what breed as I ordered an assortment.

It's got feathered legs. I dont really care what breed it is, just wondering why the feathers are coming in like that.

? silkie? I've never had silkies, but wondering if it may have silky pattern. Knowing what breed it is will give a lot of information about what you are seeing in the feather pattern. If I recall correctly, silkies have feathered feet.

I'm thinking it might be a bad quality silkie after comparing the feathers to ones I've seen online. It has slate legs and a yellow beak so if it is a silkie I don't see how Ideal can say they breed to standard.

Does Ideal have Sizzles?

If it has five toes and feathered legs, I'm thinking silkie.

No hatchery ever says the breed to the Standard.

I have two silkies from Ideal. Neither are bearded, they're barely crested, one has five toes on one foot, and four on the other. The hen has very lightly feathered legs. Definitely hatchery quality.

Agree, do a toe count & check out the color of it's skin/feet, Silkies should have 5 toes on each foot & black skin.

I don't think so

It's got five toes but not black skin. Slate maybe, but not black. It's probably a silkie.
