Silkies... boys or girls (also two satins)

[Matilda Belle]

It's a silkie with non traditional silkie feathering. A silkie with smooth feathers, 5 toes, black skin. It's just a mutt.

that’s not correct. Not a mutt. Satins are a separate breed. They are part Cochin bred for generations for certain qualities.

The first white Silkie looks female and the black satin looks female as well.

@Matilda Belle I had never heard of satins until this thread, not that I am any sort of expert on chicken breeds. I couldn't find them in either the APA or BPCGB standards. Do link me to the right source. I am interested to find out more.

They aren't a recognized breed in the U.S. yet, but many breeders are working on it. I don't show any of mine, so I don't have much information other than what other breeders have told me and I've read in facebook groups (Silkie and Satin Chickens).
