Strange looking silkie peeps

[rannug]

ok, here's my story and I'm sticking to it. I have two flocks. One has 5 banties, 2 full sized hens, can't think what breed right now, 5 Blue Palm turkeys, and one male guinea.

The other flock has 2 male guineas which roost in a tree above the coop, 10 silkies and their various chicks. Yesterday I was presented with 3 silkie peeps. Fine and dandy. The only thing being is that 2 of the peeps look exactly like guinea peeps in markings and colors. I have heard that this is possible, but little did I expect it.

I also have a chick from one of the Golden Comets bred by a banty, hatched and raised by a silkie. That chick is nothing but beautiful.

Pics to follow when the peeps begin feeding outside.

This is my story and I'm sticking to it.

Yes it's possible but the progeny rarely live to be a year. See if you can find the old story "Miracle the Guin-Hen." Broke my heart years ago.

It is possible I remember the story of Miracle too. I cried my eyes out reading that one. I would love to see pics of the chicks when you get a chance and good luck with them.
