Egg said Silkie, but...

He does not have a naked neck whatsoever, just cute pink toes, lol. He's nice and fluffed up now. I'll get pics tomorrow. Thanks everyone...and for explaining what a cuckoo was, lol.

Cuckoo is a new color to silkies and won't look "perfect." They were crossed many generations back to get this new color. So you will typically have a litle pink skin on a cuckoo. It is to be expected. If your cuckoo has 5 good toes and a typical silkie walnut comb you are lucky. It isn't a showable color anyway, and you could still sell her eggs if her type is otherwise nice.
To the OP, he will probably be fine, any neck pinkness will probably darken, the pink on toes may darken too, oh and keep an eye on his feet since if they don't straighten he may need "shoes" taped to the feet for a couple of days. He/she is charming, congrats Mama!

Thanks for the warning about the feet, i've been keeping an eye out on them, and almost all sit like that when they hatch and are still wobbly..but I keep checking to make sure it's improving. So far so good.
