They are pure, just not of a high quality. It's not uncommon for PQ silkies to have several dqs such as a lack of foot feathering, no crest, white skin, missing or extra toes, incorrect combs, etc. Sometimes buff chicks will hatch out with greenish legs and beak, this is nothing to worry about as it fades as the bird matures. Silkies come in more than just the standardized varieties, colors can also be mixed, resulting in non-standard colors.
