Silkie Rooster?

[WestoftheRest]

Is this a silkie? Has the extra toe and blackish feet but the comb doesn’t match what the google machine showed. This guy and four hens are needing a new home and I was picked to give them a home

Hi! To me that looks like a silkie roo but it seems it wasn’t bred to be true. Silkies aren’t supposed to have a red pigmentation around the comb/waddle area. But yes you could still label it as a silkie it just won’t be any good in showing or producing purbred silkie chicks. Hoped this helps!

Thanks. I figured he was hatchery quality.

Would you have a clearer picture of the head, all that stuff on his head, I can't figure out where it starts and where it ends. Strange comb etc. Could be hatchery bird or some barnyard silkie.

Best I can do right now is just blow it up for you.
