Silkie thread!

Does anyone know what kind of silkie has strips? Her wing like light grey and white striped.

Looks like a gray or light blue?

Maybe blue kinda looks purple

So, I had a lone Call duckling hatch. If I put the little one with my Silkie momma and her chicks hatched on the same day, would she take in as her one of her own?

Could be cuckoo. Also porcelain. Do you know what the parents were?

I have chicks hatching in the incubator today, and I have a 5 month old Silkie hen in the coop. She is already laying, but shows no interest in sitting on her eggs. Is there any chance she would accept a chick, or is she far too young? I think she's too young.

Even silkies usually need to go broody first before taking chicks. There are rare exceptions.
