And though they are clearly not Silkies, I'm still trying to figure out what breed those guys actually are. Those combs suggest Rosecomb, but the ear color is wrong.

I'm guess it's a mix. Looks like Sebright (has lacing & rose comb) & Silkie if that's an extra toe I see. Perhaps some Serama too - since they're always pictured standing next to pop cans. LOL

I'm thinking a mix, too, though if there's any Silkie in it at all, there's a whole lot more of something else. I'm not seeing any signs of silkie characteristics like a crest, or dark skin, or leg feathering - and IME, it takes more than one generation to get rid of that stuff.

Gotta love those normal, smooth feathered "silkies"

- Especially when they strike a pose next to Mountain Dew.

This why I never give Mountain Dew to my chickens, it will knock the fluff right out of them. They cannot handle the caffeine.

They look a lot like my CLB/EE cross. Other than the comb is wrong. There is definitely some barring in it.

Hey, give a little credit... they did get it 1/2 right. They DO appear to be bantams...

They're a definite Sebright mix, you can see the residual lacing... there was more pics, I'll go pull them up...

2 Silky bantam roosters (cont)...

Definite intermixing of Silver and Golden Sebright... bet they got a group of mixed bantams from TSC and these are the results... after a generation or 2...
