I know, I cant figure it out either, and usually I am pretty good at this! I could have swore I saw one time on a hatchery site I saw a rare std breed that looked similar to a silkie, but I cant remember where or when. I have spent a few hours cruising the sites with no luck.
I could have been dreaming, but if I wasnt someone on here will know, I am sure of it. But for now, I am thinking they are probably just silkie mutts?
I was told mine was pure silkie (here) just very poorly bred - if these are all really poor silkies, but large then makbe someone could start using them to fix the type and get bigger birds-
How much do yours weigh?
Do they have standard silkie temperment?
How are the spurs (my boys spurs are pitiful)
If it would help I could get more picts of Bennie when he's not freeranging -
They are big, way to big for my two silkie hens; not for sure but I bet around 6lbs. They hang out with my Lt Braham hen, who is big, and they are almost as big as her. And yes they are sweet as can be with people...loved to be held, you can walk right up to them, & they will follow you around, but they were inside all winter being socialized. As far as spurs, they are still just little nubs, but they are only 8 or 9 months old?
