Chickens with silky feathers

[spectrumranch]

Does anyone have chickens with silky feathers? that are not Silkie Chickens.

To explain more- a normal clean legged variety of chicken (like a game, leghorn, etc) BUT with silky feathering (feathering like a silkie chicken).

There is someone here on BYC with silkie feathered splash ameraucanas.

Silkie seramas are a common variety of seramas. I used to have one.

The reason I asked is: the other day when I was feeding, I saw a pullet in our young chicken group (450 or so) that had silky feathering. When I tried to find her again, I saw a young rooster too, after looking for a while I finally saw the pullet again. I got some photos but they are not very good pics.

As you can see in the photos- they are clean legged and do not have the extra toe like silkie chickens. They are not as fuzzy as silkies.

So I am looking for some other chickens like this to breed with.

I had this 'Silkie' feathered rooster show up out of my hatch last year. This year, I got three more with the silky feathers from the eggs I incubated. He's a beautiful bird!
He comes from a mixture of breeds, heavy on Americauna.

I’m pleased I found this thread - I have a pair of Silked welsummers! They are only 7 weeks old but will upload pics soon! Anyone else have this? Dying to know if my female will still lay the dark brown Welsummer egg! And whether the male will develop any green feathers Anyone else have other randomly silked breeds??
