Silkie thread!

[Hinotori]

I asked this months ago on a different silkie thread but didn't get much of a response. Has anyone ever had a silkie chick hatch that looks like this? Dad is Blue, mom is Splash.

She's old enough to be outside now and completely feathered so I'll have to get an updated pic today. That spot on her head is still very dark and obvious lol.

I never saw anything like that when I had BBS. Some odd mutation

I'll be getting my first silkie next week! I was supposed to get one a few months ago, but it ended up being a polish. Which was totally fine, as I wante one anyway!

Silkies are like potato chips. You can't have just one. Actually having just a dozen isn't enough.

I'm guessing it's the splash in a different showing.

Well now that I see updated pics... that's what it looks like!

I used some pipe-cleaners bent to toe shapes and then wrapped them on with some vet wrap. Both of her feet were curled over and she was walking on the sides of her feet. She is walking flat footed now, so I just hope it works to at least allow her to use the feet. View attachment 1048139

If she is walking on them, sounds great. I figure you are half way there. I love vetwrap! It's so much cheaper than when I buy it in the people section.

No kidding on the price difference for the "human" vs animal stuff. Last carpel tunnel surgery Mom had, the doctor told her to wrap the whole thing with it twice every day after she applied the new dressing. No way someone can afford that and Mom has a limited budget. When she called and told me, I told her to stop at the feed store. She was thrilled to get so much more for a fraction of the price
