Silkie thread!

That could be. I wonder if it had the chipmunk striping when it was younger? Either way it is very unique.

I don't know if she did I got her and her sister and two brothers when they where a 1-2 months old. And she is my favorite one her name is Lucy.

What color is this silkie chick considered to be? Is it a smutty buff?

Aw, this looks like a good link it just won't let me open it to that page. Thanks, though! Is there anything I can do to get it to work?

Awww love their names!

Aw! Thank you so much!

Adorable! I would say Chai is for sure buff.

Okay, that's what I think, too. I just wanted a second opinion. I was also a little confused what color she would turn out because of how her feathers came in when she was a baby. I'll have to post a pic so you can see. But now I think she is buff with just some dark feathers (smut, I think they call it?) in her tail and wings. Thanks so much for your post and taking the time to respond!

Here is a picture of how Chai's baby feathers came in:

They were black and gold colored and that's what's still in her wings and tail. It almost looks like a barring pattern. But I know you can end up with not pure colors from hatcheries.

In that photo it kind of dims her feathers out because it was dark in the room with the heatlamp. But they looked more gold than grey.

I would still say buff.

Those wings look very much like partridge patterning. Once in while you can get a very light partridge that looks buff at a glance. The "smutty" marking on some buffs are usually just a few black feathers in tail and maybe wings not a real pattern.

That is definitely a possibility. She also has some really light barring pattern on her back leading up to her tail of the black and gold. It's really faint and you can only really see it well in the sun.
