Type of silkie?

[1 Critter Camp]

I purchased eggs off Ebay... they were frizzle silkies. I had three eggs hatch, two frizzles and this one.
Is this one called a smooth feathered silkie? I thought by definition a silkie has downy fuzzy feathers. She is very pretty; just was curious why type she is. It is time to give my two chicks names!!

Looks like a mix, maybe a cochin and silkie cross.

Frizzles have different feathers than a silkie, and people often mix the two. Since frizzles are a dominant gene for feather type most people breed one frizzle to a "normal" feathered bird. The ones with 2 of this gene look just kinda moth eaten and bald. So, the babies have a 50/50 chance of being either frizzle feathered or normal feathered. Your baby looks like it is normal feathered. But, it's a beautiful blue and if bred to a silkie or a frizzle it could give you babies that silkied if a silkie was it's mom or dad. If a frizzle was the other parent it could give you frizzle babies if bred back to a frizzle. Looks like what happened is you had one silkie parent and one frizzle parent and baby got one silkie gene (which it needs 2 of to show the silkie feathering) and no frizzle gene.

I agree with gocrow77.

I know a well known breeder who breeds smooth frizzles, frizzles, and silkied Silkies.
Here is her website.
