Hi! I was given some silkie hatching eggs from a lovely lady a while back. These two appear to be a mix of some sort. I thought maybe cochin and silkie, but I'm not seeing a whole lot of hard feathers which I thought that they would have with the cochin genes. It doesn't really matter, I'm just curious
. They are about 6 weeks old, and one appears to be a roo and the other a hen. Both have 5 toes and feathered feet.

. They are just a lot larger than the other silkies that hatched, and their combs are developing faster (the boy already has a red, much larger comb than the hen). They are all pet quality silkies anyway, but the lady I got the eggs from said that some of them might be a silkie cochin cross. I was kind of hoping for one or two but so far they seem to be feathering out like silkies.
