My broody just hatched out a chick (from a friend of a friends fertilized eggs). I have only gotten a few glimpses of it before she tucks it back under. It has 5 toes but pink skin. Since it's apparently a silkie mix will it have silkied feathers or normal feathers? (Definatly not a sultan - legs aren't feathered/ no crest.)
 
It'll be silkie feathered chicken probably.

Silkie feathering is recessive. If the non-silkie parent is not carrying the silkie feathering gene, the chick will be smooth feathered.
