I am a silkie/? mix

[FrizzleDizzle]

I had 4 eggs hatch and I'm not too sure who the mommy is (not that it matters). They are 3 weeks old. Anyway, the daddy is my silkie Kevin. The babies could all be from different moms. Any guesses on what these little ones will look like when the get bigger?? Silkie?? Coloring??

Guess I could add that they all are colored the same except ones little mohawk is white while the others are gray and one has a white belly while the others dont.

Kind of like this - only more likely more of them blue

A little older:

Smooth feathered, with small crest, with or without other colors than blue dependent on the mothers. This bird had a brother that looked like this... Sheridan

Sheridan should not have red skin and a single comb but he's pretty so he stayed.

They're sizzles - a developing breed, silkie to cochin and then on toward the standard...

A silkie to cochin? Both my favorites, would be interesting to keep!

We have a yahoo group! We're developing a standard and words to describe the weird things that happen when you get to working on the breed. There's a blue/splash thread right now in the Breeds forum that has some of mine.

I should add the mother is either: black frizzle, silkie, white crested black polish, white polish (mix I think), or a cochin.

Then a lot like the smooth feathered birds in the pics - the one with the white head crest is part polish. I don't see any of them that are silkie feathered so she's not the momma. They are going to be really cute.

no pure silkie? oh well. i was hoping one would be from my white polish because she died.
ill love them no matter what
