snow white is a frilkie it's just a silkie feathered (normal silkie "fur") that curls back just like your sizzles

Hi! Has anyone ever got Cackle hatchery's silkie assortment? What colors did you get?

 

[Fancychooklady]

Does Anyone Know What Color This Is???? Some People On My Facebook Page Said She Might Be Black Split To Paint???? Will She Keep The White??? I Breed And Hatched Her Father And Mother Are Both Paint Silkies!!

If both parents are paint , then yes it's a paint . Paint is actually a black or white bird with pigment holes and the pink pigmentation on the toes is common in paint, splash and blues. My understanding is that if your little one is a roo you could breed him over lighter paints to enhance the colour. This article explains it better than I can. http://www.chickencolours.com/Translation Dutch paint articleX.pdf

I can see pics much better now
China is a sizzle (a silkie with smooth feathers that curl)
Snow white is a frilkie (a silkie with silkie feathering that curl)
And the black looks like a sizzle
Frizzle is just the curling back of the feathers there and can happen in many types of chickens including the "frizzle" haha I hope that is not confusing...

I've never heard the term ' frilkie ' .
A frizzle is a bird carrying one frizzle gene , a frazzle is a bird carrying 2 frizzle genes and that can occur in any breed.
A sizzle is a silkie that carries the frizzle gene.

Haha I know I did not come up with it that's just what people call a silkie with silkie feathers (no barbs)and frizzle feathers I guess kind of like the phenotype the chicken displays

@Fancychooklady thank you for sharing because my breeder said my white one and two paints have brown eyes because of the paint gene!! Then someone else said that's not to breed standards but the article said the same thing!!!
