Silkied pekin

[henroo]

Hi everyone. There's a person selling this chicken. I'm pretty sure that is a silkied pekin but i need your opinions to know for sure because i don't know if pekin are available in silkie feathering. I know Japanese bantam,serama and some other breeds have specimen with silkie feathering. Thanks in advance.

Silkie is its own breed.

Maybe that's a mix?

The silkie gene comes in most breeds. Look on feather site i saw some silkie cochins on there before.

My friend bought 2 silkied serama hens from a breeder years ago. She thought they would be fluffy like a silkie, they weren't. They just have straight feathers - hard to explain.
Looked like when you wash hair and don't rinse enough. Nothing special.

The silkied pekin (cochin to us) is beautiful.
