Silkie with white skin?

[KKVDK]

Hey y’all i bought some silkies a bit ago from a breeder and i’ve been wondering why my silkie i bought from her has white skin. i thought they were supposed to have black skin. is she not a pure silkie or is white skin a recessive trait or what. Here’s some pictures of her.

I've been seeing these from selective breeders lately too.

I'd suggest posting your pics with the other silkie lovers at:

Crossed with a polish, maybe? Very cute. I love the colouring ❤

It's not pure.
Appears to be a paint silkie. The paint pattern includes dominant White which wasn't in silkies so they had to bring it in from a different breed.
