one of my hens just recently hatched five babies, and two of them seem to be growing silkie feathers! the only thing is, ive heard that mixed breed silkies only ever get the straight feather gene and i only have one chicken with the silkie feathers. i do have other silkies but those all have normal feathers. so does that mean that mixed breed silkies can get fluffy feathers?
heres a picture of one of them, sorry its a bit hard to see
edit: nevermind i figured it out, id just completely forgotten how recessive genes worked
