Odd colored silkie hatched.

[Shannon33]

I had a silkie chick hatch a little early ( Day 18 ) A hen was sitting on them and when I checked on her this one egg was smashed in on one side

I did a search on here and found an old thread and followed some advice. I wrapped it in a wet paper towel and stuck it in my incubator. Anyway he hatched early, had some yolk still to absorb (he did hatch on his own) But he is really weird colored! He is pure white, with the yellowing on his head and feet like whites have when they are little, but he has black spots on him? Two big ones on his head and some little ones on his back. Also, his legs and feet are not black, they are a pale pink. (Although they seem a bit darker today) What color is this, and could the skin be because he is early?
P.S. I only own silkies so no chance of another breed.
Thanks for any insight.

how many toes? i wonder if it is a cochin with the frizzel gene.

some silkies are breeded with that and it could have popped out???

toe count will help....if a frizzel it will have feathers going out(curling out) rather than smooth. If it had that and was black skinned with 6 toes it would be a sizzel.

what color is the skin under the feathers?

 

[Shannon33]

It has 5 toes. It's skin is a light gray color (besides leg and feet) Other than the weird colors it looks exactly like my other silkie chicks.

Picture?
It would be cool if it is a 'sport' of some kind...but, probably somewhere along the line there was a cross that just came out in this chick's genes.
Keep us posted on how he/she grows up.
Any of the other eggs have the same parents?

OK, I don't have a good camera AND I take bad pics, but here he is. His feet look greenish in this pic, but I think it's the lighting. They are now like a pinkish gray. You see the dots on his head, he has more on his other side. Sorry the pic is so big, I don't know what I am doing, lol. His siblings should be hatching tonight or tomorrow, but they may not have same parents.

What color are the parents?

 

[Shannon33]

The mother is either a black or a dark blue, not sure who's egg it was, and the father is either a partridge or a white.

I found a picture on Feathersite that looks like him, so maybe that is it. Same colored feet also it looks like.

http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGP/Silkies/PaintSilkieChik.JPEG I guess time will tell. Forgot to mention I hatched some eggs last week from the same pen/birds and they were all blues, one black, and one partridge, nothing like this guy.

I checked the adult pictures on feathersite and found some Paint Silkies. Now I want some!!! Basically they are Spash but, the background color is really white.
I found a thread that may be helpful and maybe you could PM the Original Poster to find out how that bird grew:

I am really hoping it is a Paint!!!
