Silkies with long legs

[Alex_Zurago]

I was looking at Silkie traits on this website https://silkie.org/faults-in-silkies.html and found an image of a silkie with longer legs like this:

How commonly does this appear? I know in a show quality bird this would be undesirable but I quite like it and it would be good for a cross I am looking into. I am also compiling a list of Silkie Breeders so anyone who breeds good quality Silkies let me know.

Not sure what to make of this bird.
It has silkied feathers, but I do not think it is pure silkie. Never seen anything like it.

Hmmmm. I only see one leg on this bird, and it looks awfully forward to me, giving it an unbalanced appearance. Being a skeptical person in my old age, I am wondering if this is a real picture of a real bird .. or something photoshopped.

That's what I thought, too!
