Hello all, 2 months ago I got bought 2 supposedly silkie chicks from a local breeder, one is a female and is starting to grow her comb and wattles while the male is already starting to crow. The female looks silkie enough because she has the puffy hair though her feathers are bit weird. (I'm fairly certain that she's a sizzle) but the rooster I know is half silkie because he has 5 toes and fluffy feathers on his butt. But he's growing golden feathers on his wings and copperish feathers on his neck as well as green feathers in his tail. I'm no expert on chicken breeds but Im pretty sure that he isn't entirely silkie. (Below is a picture of him digging through my vegetable patch :)

He doesn't look anything like a silkie. I'm not sure what he actually is though. I'm curious to see if anyone else knows.
Can you post a picture of the female too?
Yeah, he doesn't look very much like a silkie and the only reason why I believe so is because of his toes. Her details are a bit hard to see though because she's so puffy and dark, her comb is a deep purple and her ears are a light blueish color

Ooh, he looks very pretty, what is he a mix of?
That is an excellent question. I posted him a couple years ago and no one could give me a straight answer. What kind of comb does your boy have? That’s a good place to start.

I think he has a rose comb.

How big is he? I’m not familiar with a lot of breeds with rose combs except for sebrights.

He's 10 inches tall, though this might not be accurate because he was being fussy. Also it worth mentioning that he's only 2 months old and isn't fully grown
