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

[chickenbuddy0]

not the surgery --- the responses to my idea of what that chicken could be - too many sensitive people - for the record- I never called it a mutt because I have a lot of them myself-- I was in A HURRY and didn't have time to color my guess as to what it was with words like (gorgeous, perfect, awsome, etc..)

Chickenbuddy0 I don't care if you don't like it. Everyone has opinions. It's not a big deal. I don't mind if people don't like every chicken I like.

I got defensive because you said it was a Brahma/Cochin, and that it had no polish at all. After I have stated several times It was not cochin. Which in other words saying you don't believe me.

That is why I got angry.

if you read my first response -I never said that I didn't like it-- I only said what I thought it was--granted, I could have been more gentle about it but I just talk straight out - I should be MORE clear next time - anyway, I need to go check on my setting hen -- she's sitting on a nest full of golden polish mixed with rhode Island red eggs---you see I like my mixes too--- have a great day.

I have enjoyed following this thread also. I think your beautiful mutt is gorgeous. I get a fery nice result from my Wydonette hen and Dom roo. I just cna't decide she is a he or he is a she. I also get a plainer looking chicken from one of my sex links and what I thought was a RIR roo. Can't remember what somebody said he actually was but they come out to be a lighter brown with some black spots. The one mixed with the Wydonette and Dom is much larger than the other one that hatched on the same day. I have pic but they aren't recent. A couple of weeks old. They still look the same but the white ones has much longer leggs. Thats is why I'm leaning more towards a roo.

I am pretty sure that the white chick is a Red Sex Link Rooster. That is the color of the roos and look at the comb as well. I have eight just like it myself. The other looks like a Red Sex Link pullet, but I have to say that I have a number of those also and some of them are turning out to demonstrate roo behavior, possibly because they are not first generation sex links.

Here are some pictures of some buff colored siblings that always hang together. I thought that they were supposed to be Buff Brahmas, but it seems obvious that there is some silkie genetics somewhere back in the bloodlines since the one has a blue / black beak and five blue / black toes and a tiny Marines style flat top haircut compared to the other with a yellow beak, feet, and small comb. Also, I find it interesting that, while I have cochin and brahma mixes in my mixed flock of chicks, the other buff colored bird does not have any feathering on its shanks at all.

You never know what will pop out of free range chicks, even stuff that was not supposed to be there.

Neat! Thanks for sharing.

I agree about the mutts. I just had 3 hatch out within the past fe days and I had two different looking chicks from the same hen. I have a Dom roo and a RIR roo. Evidently each chick has a different daddy. They are very pretty chicks but they look completely different. I have one that is black form my Gersy Giant and her wing feathers are coming in and they appear like they are going to be black. I have absolutely no black chickens. The mother is red and as I said before the roos are RIR and Dom.

Sorry I don't have pics. Wish I could show you.

He is gorgeous! I would be proud of him too! I agree that he needs a special name. My 9 yr. old would want to call him something like Cotton or Marshmallow. Maybe you could name him after some important man in history or someone like a king or president that you admire.

just read this thread and wondering if there's any update on the pics now that she's full grown? =]
