Is this chick part silkie?

[Peep Nerd]

My silkie recently sat on three eggs. She broke one egg after a week and then killed one chick as soon as it hatched. I took the last egg and hatched it under a heat lamp. This is the chick. It's about 2 weeks old. Does it look like the long feathers coming in are silkie? If so, do you think it's possible she knew the other ones weren't hers and that's why she killed them. I know that sounds weird but it just occurred to me when I noticed these new feathers coming in.

yes I think so

Doesn't really look like silkie feathers to me. And it could still be part silkie with hard feathers, I believe hard feathers are a dominant gene. As for mama rejecting the others I doubt it had anything to do with the way the chick looked. Was she a first time mama?

I don't think mamas really think about the looks of their babies. It looks like the chicks tail feathers are Silkie like so she's probably part silkie.
Was she a first time mama?

Some hens just don't make good mothers. Those aren't silkied feathers coming in. Were they eggs from your flock? What breeds do you have?

The eggs were from my flock but I have so many breeds I couldn't narrow it down. I don't even know what they all are. They were a mixed bunch from McMurray and my 3 roosters are silkie, cochin frizzle and a big beautiful mixed breed.
It was her first time hatching eggs. Do you think I should give her another chance?
