Hi! I hatched some silkie chicks with an incubator. One chick hatched out with pink legs! It came out of a deformed egg ( my great mistake). I'm not really sure what breed is he mixed with. The hens that my rooster mates with are Speckled Sussexes, Red sex links, Barred rock chickens, Marans chickens or a hen with grey feathering
( I'm not really sure what breed she is). The rooster is a Silkie.

Thanks!

Pullet. Female specific color pattern.
 
A Silkie mix will have Solid/Smooth feathers since the silkie gene is recessive, & requires two copies to show.
