    I thought I knew what type of chick I had.

    Sorry, nothing helpful to contribute. That's neat! I thought Cinnamon Queens usually had a little "collar" so to speak. Can they not?

    Silkie Color Genetics

    More than that, they're missing a nail and the end of 3 digits are larger & rounder. It's clearly hereditary since more than one of them had it. Just curious if it's a common Silkie thing or what. I know! I just thought it was neat that they had more than one chick with a single comb.

    Dad was solid buff, mom was solid black. Another weird part of the babies are that some have clubbed toes and two of them somehow have single combs???

    Chicken! Girl or boy?

    Female, and I agree you do need to get her away from your birds. Massive health risk.

    Neat! Good luck with the Coast Guard life @Evadig. Have you lived near water most of your life? The flexibility certainly is nice. And it's a practice IACUC protocol, which is Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee and that committee is responsible for approving and maintaining the...

    Silkie Color Genetics

    This is exactly the coloration that my friend's bird has! And they all hatched black also, gradually developing the buff over time... I don't have the time to really absorb what has been said in the rest of the thread but I may have questions if it wasn't answered what your Silkie was lol

    Totally understandable @Evadig . I wish you luck in that endeavor! If you don't mind my asking, any reason you picked Coast Guard in particular? Also, just for my own life update, currently writing a research protocol for chickens. LOL!

    Silkie Color Genetics

    Wow, that's really neat!! Where did you learn all this? I'd love to read more about it and get a more comprehensive understanding, but not a clue where to begin. =] @Amer

    Is this a true Ameraucana?

    I agree with Amer. Doesn't match any color accepted by Ameraucana SOP + from TSC, so likely not Ameraucana lol.

    Silkie Color Genetics

    So it is incomplete dominance between Extended Black and Wheaten? Any reason why the buff might be concentrated around the neck and keel?

    I don't want to post a picture of his birds without his knowledge, but my friend has a bunch of Silkies that had a black mother and a buff father... and they all came out black with buff "collars" and some more buff feathering on their bellies. Could anyone explain why that is? Incomplete...

    Could this be a boy? It's a Rhode Island Red. About 5 weeks.

    Yeah plus just noticed the dark pattern on his feet. I don't think it's dirt but if it is, shhh. I'm not wearing my glasses and it's 1:40 am for me
