Ypu said all of your roo's are silkies? Your chick look alot like my mixes. More specifically it looks alot like my brown leghorn and silkie mix chicks. Do you have any other hens that eggs could have gotten mixed up somehow??? By the foot feathering the little one is definitely part silkie.

I mark my eggs as to which pen and color it came from. The only other birds I have that lay are quail and 1 pen with oegb's. The quail and oegb's don't get out of their pens. I also have 1 black orph roo that never gets out of his pen and 3 bbs orph pullets not laying yet and a cochin pullet also not laying yet. So the only roo that could have gotten to this one would be a different color silkie roo. The egg was marked with a P which means it came from the partridge silkie pen. I also have a sizzle chick with similar markings and color that is in the sizzle pen. It was marked siz which means it came from the sizzle pen. That roo is a grey silkie roo.

There was several days back a couple months ago when I let the partridge silkies out and the sizzles out to free range. I'm thinking it's my partridge silkie roo. I got a PM from somebody that got some eggs from me and they have a chick that is also similar to this one. I'm afraid there have been more.

but noboey else has mentioned it. I had a calico roo but I sold him after I got several eggs with him. I have 1 of the chicks.

The roo in the sizzle pen now is the grey that i've had nearly 2 years and he hasn't put out any striped or smooth chicks. He has put out laced ones though.
Here are those 2 roos

Partridge silkie roo. This is when I first got him last year. He has alot of gold on him now but that head is still ugly.

He's in the back of the pic by the pen. This was taken this spring

I'm going to replace him as soon as I can. Especially since I think he's putting out the non silkied chicks. I can't sell eggs knowing he is probably mixed. I wish I could remember who I got him from so I could ask about his background. She is on BYC. Maybe she will contact me if she sees these posts. We met at LBL to pick him up and we had our grandsons with us.

I had a calico roo in with my mixed color sizzle hens. I sold alot of eggs and chicks but I kept this 1 chick. It is a pullet named Goldie It's hard to get a good pic of her. She won't be still.

There is a blue hen behind her in this pic.

I have no idea which hen she came from. There are blue, black, white and grey hens.
