Silkie

[Hbalangue]

I got this silkie from a friend, mainly due to the red waffle and comb. Friendliest chicken we have ever owned. The chicken is 16 weeks old, any guesses on sex? No crowing but I also found out that my showgirl was a boy so I give up lol!

I agree usually white silkies have a much darker red colored comb.

Agree! I feel like she is part Leghorn or something just saying she in hopes the chicken is a girl lol. Whatever the chicken is it can stay, my son loves it and won’t part with it! The roosters don’t try to fight her but actually try to mount her but I have been bamboozled before

Yes! All my other silkies have a very dark comb. The color doesn’t bother me though, Quazzy is more of a pet at this point. I am just curious

I don't think shes a leghorn mix. Heres a thread with leghorn silkie crosses from 2011 and they look more like frizzles.https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/silkie-x-leghorn-crosses.483189/page-6
