questions about my silkie..

[chelschix]

i was told he/she is a frizzle silkie but her feathers arent frizzleing out like i expect them to?
He/she dosent look as poofy as a regular silkie? im a little confused..

either way i think he/she is cute!

Your chick has regular feathers due to the dominant gene from the frizzled Cochin parent. Unfortunately it did not inherit the Frizzle cofactor.

will he/she look like a regular silkie then?

 

[kentuckysilkies]

Sorry, it will have regular feathers not Silkie ones. The body shape could be much like a Silkie.

I'm afraid it failed at inheriting either the frizzle or silky genes, i think it's cute though!

Don't worry, you'll still have a cute little bird!

well even though he/she isnt what i expected there is no way i can get rid of her, she is too attached to me
