Hello again! I'm back with another silkie saga 
! It's officially time for the chicks to start hatching! And the first one to come out was a silkie. But of course the silkies strike again! The last couple batches of silkies that I have hatched out have had no fluffy heads and no extra toes. Remind you, the parents who I got from well-trusted breeders have super fluffy heads, Beards, and extra toes. The first hen that I was breeding with my high quality roosters died from an unknown cause. She didn't seem to be 100% purebred but still carried the extra toes, fluffy head, and silky feathers. Her babies came out amazing! But since she's died, I have bought a mauve colored silkie hen. Every single time that I use her for breeding some of the chicks do not have any extra toes or fluffy heads like they should. I have tried switching out my roosters, but it has yet again failed. I'm starting to wonder if it's just that hen or if I can't breed two purebred silkies. Any help is appreciated
