I'm not sure, but I just did a hatch for a friend from my pet quality silkies. I have a buff roo with a bunch of different colored girls. I just hatched three chicks that look this color. I'll post pics.

Here are my chicks from my pet quality coop. These were hatched for a friend that is just looking for some silkie pets.

The ones that look similar to yours:

Here are just a couple pics of some other funky colors from this hatch.

It does look a bit like it.

all of the other chicks I've hatched are heaps lighter then her.
not even the one that is going to be part black was even that dark as a one day old chick.

the possible mum/s is black w/ goldy brown leakage, and the other is a very light partridge.
the dads are both red.

Too cute!! Great picture! I was worried with the size of silkies a diaper would be hard to find

Hi Everyone, Would you mind giving me some advise on this little girl? She is looking horrible, acts fine though.

This is Ling Ling, 1st pic was in March, 2nd is today. She acts fine, but looks and feels terrible, feathers are rough like wires, not the soft fluffy feeling.

Is she molting?
Mites?
