Ok…first of all, don’t buy silkies from Hoover because they don’t seem to be at all “correct”. Granted, I impulse bought 4 chicks from my local Runnings and I only want them as pets, but c’mon…
At six weeks…Three are mostly silkie-like. One has four toes, two have straight combs coming in, one has a white beak and some white skin on its feet.
Then there’s this baby in the photos…what is going on here?
Did a Cochin sneak in her lineage somewhere? Four toes, brown eyes, all her energy seems to be going into growing her leg feathers instead of her tail.
Anyway, I can’t wait to see how she looks when grown up….should be interesting.
