Coolest Chicken Ever! Silkie Mutation? New Pics. 2 months old

[KinderKorner]

haha sorry! I had to run out to the coop in the dark and rain to go grab him so I could take some recent pictures.

grr. All my pictures became smaller. That makes them even harder to see. Well I tried anyway.

He's quite awesome. Thanks for the pics!

I have a brahma Polish mix chick too it is a doll!

Wow. My little thread sparked quite an intrest. I didn't expect anyone to even answer me.

Just for reference. I want to describe him a bit better.

Who ever has chickens know how fluffy chicken butts are. They have different feathers back there. They aren't stiff just puff.

Well his entire body seems to be covered with 'Chicken Butt' feathers. haha Sorry if it sounds funny. But its the easiest way to describe.

Really nice looking and SOOOO White. What are the parents? You may have something going here.

Dominate White Crested Polish, and Light Brahma.

I'm not sure if the feathering would breed true or not. I've done lots of Polish Crossed but this is my first with a brahma. All others were skinny, and normal feathered. So perhaps I will hatch some more soon and see what I get!

I would love to have a roo like him. I just think he is beautiful and I love to pet my chicks because their feathers are so soft.

Oh.....he is so cute and fluffy! It will be interesting to watch him as he grows up....keep us posted.

 

[KinderKorner]

I will take pictures and add them often! I'm hoping he continues to be fluffy forever! *crosses fingers*

I am going to try to hatch some more next month. I will let everyone know if I have some weird gene in my chickens and I get more fuzzies like him.

If I do, I will keep them and breed some eggs (in six months) to share with anyone who wants them.

I would love to perfect this new mix to have thick foot feathering no crest, completely white, huge and soft. So we shall see if I can ever get to that and it breeds true.

I've got a good start.
