Um….read the post, people!
This is her dad.

This is her mom, who upon closer inspection may have Ocular Marek’s. Look at those grayish eyes.

I think she looks ok, I don't see it, could be the way the light captured the photo.

He does kind of look like that! I wonder if that breed is closely related to either silkies or Delaware’s
