That's a good looking chicken. Totally different genes, but looks so similar to one we had in China. She also loved to use her wings, good runner too. By far the hardest to catch in the flock.

If it is half Ameraucana, The father was the Silkie, the mother was the Ameraucana. And the mom had to have one copy of the hookless gene.
The hookless gene is responsible for Silkied feathers. So, for example, if two normal feathered birds each carry a copy of the hookless gene (even if they don't show it), a percentage of their offspring will be Silkied. The hookless gene is recessive. If you breed a Silkie feathered bird to a regular feathered bird, none of the offspring will be Silkied, but they will get a copy of the hookless gene. Breed those offspring back to a Silkie and you get Silkied feathers again
