Sold as silkie chick.. interesting wing colors?

[nolitaflat]

This baby here was sold to me, along with 8 other siblings, as a silkie. Its siblings definitely are all silkies, but I noticed this one has some really interesting colors coming in on the wings… any idea what I’ve got here?

Nope. Just that it's not a silkie.

Here’s another picture where you can see the head poof, and it does have feathered legs, black skin (I’ve seen their butts lol)… is it really not a silkie?

That is a silkie. It could be a buff silkie. Are the silkies you got breed for purecolor or did they come from a mixture of silkies.

Or a partridge silkie

They came from tractor supply so I’m assuming not bred in any pure form lol. I got 5 yellow ones and 3 that I think are going to be black/blue, leaning towards blue because they’re a light grey now.

They should be pure for color then. I would say your baby is most likely a buff silkie, i had some silkie chicks look like that and turned buff. If you post pictures of the others I could tell you what colors they are if u want

It's a buff silkie. My girl had the zig zags too as a baby.

What makes you say that?

The feather texture. Looking closer they are more fluffy then I thought, you might be right.

Nah, that texture is quite consistent for growing wing feathers in silkie chicks. Their wings and some tail feathers still resemble normal feathers
