Buffs are the ABSOLUTE WORST for having horns. I'm raising a quint now, 3 silkies and 2 showgirls, all in the buff variety, and my one cockeral has two "points." Just little bumps at this point, but they shouldn't get any bigger. Selective breeding can get rid of the gene, although it doesn't how many generations you breed, it can still pop up later.
But at least you know where the horns came from now.... the "buff" men in the family.

He was named Georgie because he hatched on Washington's birthday. We were hoping he was a she but all three chicks that hatched were roos. No fair!
Poor Georgie. Not only does he have horns, but it looks like his brain is on the outside of his skull. That sure is one dark purpley-red nasty looking comb!
The silkie prayer:
Dear Lord, Please give us the strength to reject the evil guiles
of the demon silkies. Our will is weak and thier allure is strong.
Amen
