pink feet and no feathering is a dead giveaway of it NOT being a silkie Silkie mix maybe??? How many toes? Should have 5 and ALL dark black skin...

ugh i was afraid of that. i contacted the seller. i am not sure if i can keep it. i would try again for silkies and so i would have to give away this one

i am running out of room and cant have both

i will take a better picture of the mystery chicken when its out the the bator

I can see from its beak it isnt a silkie Im sorry the beak is pink...what other kinds of birds does this seller carry? maybe they accidentally grabbed a wrong egg??

 

[ninnyeggs]

He deals with rare breeds so I have an even less chance of figuring out what it really is haha

A keeper if its rare

I get silkie "mutants" once in a while too LOL. Sometimes mine will have 5 toes on one foot, 4 on the other, a few turn up with vaulted skulls, sometimes they hatch with pink skin that goes blue with age...
