Silkie ducks

Those look normal to me. But the resolution looks terrible on my phone, so

Yeah, none of the adults pictured on that page look like they're actually silkied to me, either. They really do look fuzzy when homozygous for the gene. Finding clear pictures of them online is hard, though.

All this would stop me from getting any. Anything that can't hatch itself and is at a disadvantage because of the 'mutation' should not be pursued, imo. But I'm weird that way.

If I ever get Calls, they will NOT be show quality.

 

[fluffycrow]

Yeah, that looks like the pictures that came up with a quick Google search

Can you imagine how many breeds will be lost if the power grid goes down? All those ducks and chickens that won't hatch their own eggs. Guess Cochin and Silkies will become high demand!

I mean, you could always keep the non hatching ones and give those eggs to broodies to hatch

Exactly what I meant by the Cochin and Silkies. They'd hatch light bulbs if they could!

My Java tried hatching a small ceramic feed bowl this last round.
