This is my boy. He was sold to me as a splash but the black only appears to be on his wings, tail(can’t be seen in the pictures) and neck. He’s young and the black is growing in more around his neck but I was planning on breeding him into my B/B/S pen. Is he going to create full splashes or...
hello I just had 2 out of my 6 silkie eggs hatch. The hen is blue and the roosters are blue and blue cuckoo. Now that the babies have started to hatch I have the question of what colour will they be. My first chick has the “chipmunk” pattern which I usually read is partridge only I don’t have...
We will be looking to get something back. But we aren’t too worried he was only I think 40-50. I don’t think we’d know where to look for the breeder anyway. Was at a sale.

Yes it’s a silkie it has the 5 toes and black feet and crest. It is much to young to look for a comb as it is only days old. I was told that the sex could be told by the spot. That’s all I’m looking for:)

I read that a cuckoo silkies gender can be identified by the spot in the back of the head. If so what do you think? I think it’s really big and is a boy.
