5 toes but pink skin... What is this?

[SoManyHats]

Hi. I got some eggs for the NYE hatch along that the owner marked Cochin x Silkie. Well, most actually hatched pure Silkie, except this one that has pink not black skin. It's a little bigger than my other Silkies. Could it be a Cochin x Silkie, or a pure Cochin (which she said is a possibility)? TIA.

Two days old on left, ten days on right. (Please excuse its dirty feet.)

Cochin silkie mix. The darker skin and extra toe is silkie influence, the size is Cochin influence.

cochin don't have 5 toes like this chick does, so a mix

Cochin/Silkie mixes, or Sizzles.

They should have all the Silkie characteristics (crest, feathered shanks, extra toes, type, blue earlobes, black skin, ect), but with frizzled, barbed feathers.

They're still a work in progress, so there are lots of things that do and don't show up. The first crossing, Silkie x Cochin, can produce chicks with any combination of either parent.

I have a Sizzle pullet, she's great

I agree.

Cochin/silky cross - unless the cochin was a frizzle, the bird will be smooth feathered.

I agree.

So do I.
