i got this little guy in a group of eggs i bought..he is 5 months old and he weirded me out...i bought 18 white bearded silkie eggs te owner said she had never had this color come out of her whites ever.. 9 eggs hatched all white then this one comes out.. i have searched since he was born what this color is called but cant find it i have seen some similar in color but dont have the dark tail..he isnt mixed.. any help appreciated..thank you
I wouldn't call his colour "bad" not great, but not bad by any means. Overall it is pretty evenly colours, which IMO is harder to get than removing black from the tail and wings. However, I do not see any way that he could have come from white x white breeding.
Sounds like a case of mixing up on the egg marking - he definitely looks buff. Does the breeder have buffs? If not, the mystery deepens
