Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

Silver female under gold male.

Yes, of course, forgot that one!

I would love to do the barred ones too, but I'm doing silver base under gold base for now

Pure silkie, under a hen.

So longer single toes are normal?

Sorry I had forgotten what you had originally asked and I was thinking the 4 versus 5 toes. Yes I don’t think longer toes is unusual, just another variation in the many toe variations seen in Silkies.

Hey yall.
My good friend from high school gave me this little fella (i think fella).
I thought about keeping him, possibly...
I think he may be a satin/silkie cross???
Any ideas??

Interesting photo.
To have silkied feathers he has to be at least 75% Silkie, though he appears to be less Silkie than this. Also no crest and quite leggy. Maybe he is another breed or mixed breed with a Silkied feather mutation? Do you know its age and size? Do you have other photos?

Maybe cochin heavy? He doesn't exactly have to be 75% silkie, he just has to be lucky enough to have two parents that carry at least one silkie gene to each give him one

Got my bantam cochin eggs in mail today...I just luv it when they send extras!!!

Yall Bluey has a new home...if they show tomorrow night he'll be getting his own flock!

And Joey...well his new feathers coming in are beautiful!!! And his shape and size has always been what I want in a Satin...much like Lizzy is! And they come from the same flock too. I think I'm gonna keep him!

Yes, of course. Didn’t think that one through.
I breed Polkies on occasion and I always breed 1st gen back to a Silkie and not to another 1st gen. So my second gen are always 75% Silkie.
