Stumped on the breed

[ClaymontFarms]

Picked up four chicks three weeks ago from TSC, two white leghorns and what I thought were two silkies. The dark silkie definitely checks out but the light silkie has me stumped...It has dark legs and the extra toe like a silkie but there’s no feathering on the feet. The dark silkie has complete feathering but this one doesn’t. The leghorns are also much larger than both of the silkies. Any ideas?

As they re tractor supply birds they breed for quantity, not quality, they could be inbred or some mix bred in that impacts the feathered foot gene.

Yea I was thinking it may be a mix breed that got mixed in somehow. Hopefully hopefully not inbred tho it’s not the end of the world

Appears to be a hatchery quality Buff Silkie.

Idk if I’ll be buying for TSC again lol. The strange thing is that our other silkie does have the feathered feet.
