What breed is this roo?

I've never raised silkies before but they're both adorable!

Thank you so much!

Where did you get the eggs from. I see 2 rhat look like silkies/silkie mixes and one that looks like a mixed breed

I wouldn’t be surprised is they were hatched, because we bought the eggs last minute on Amazon. It sounds funny, but we actually had a pretty high hatch rate!

Silkies mix

Thanks!

They did generations before have to be bred with a cochin. Now some folks raise satin silkies. I only have one, a naked neck paint, and only keep her because she's my only adult paint.

I guess her "official" title would be a satin showgirl silkie. I don't raise those, just hanging on to her for now.

The black one is probably a satin silkie if not a cross. Sometimes, hatchery-quality silkies don't have the big top hat head or five toes. I'd say the two on the left are pet quality/hatchery quality silkies, but not sure of the one on the right.

Thank you so much! This really helps! We are pretty sure that that one is an Easter egger because she came out of a light green egg, but we aren’t sure. There are many breeds that lay green eggs.
