Possible columbian or differant color Silkie.......

[reesepoultry]

I believe I have hatched out a columbian silkie. This silkie has black in it's neck and tail and wings. Also black on the foot feathers. This silkie is only 3 months old. *Please note pics make it look differant. This silkie is white/off white with the black markings.*

I would say its a Splash. I have hatched some like that before.

IMO it carries the Lav Gene.

I also thought the same thing. But, I don't think I would want to throw it in my Lav pen. I have gotten my lavs nice and I think this would ruin the color of my lavenders.

What color were the parents?

Honestly I don't remember what egg it hatched out of. I have a lavender pen, Partridge pen, & a BBS pen I hatched out of this year. so it could be out of any one of these pens.

I started keeping records after this one was born, just because of hatching out weirdo colors. I have lavender carriers in my BBS pen.

I think you had two lav carriers from your BBS pen breed and hatch this fellow out.

possibly..... It's a very nice looking little silkie but, I have no clue where to put it. I am afraid of it messing up my pens I have established.

Unless you know the bird came out of a lav x nonlav breeding, there's no way to know whether or not it is carrying the lav gene without it being present in the homozygous form.

It can go in the mad scientist pen
