What kind of silkie (color etc?)

[Jenilynchickmom]

My mom got 2 silkies in the spring. So we know (we think) that the one is a showgirl, but we are needing help with the other please and thank you. We know he is a silkie but have no idea in what color or style, help?

It looks to me like a Silkie mixed with a Salmon Favorelle. The coloring is exactly like a Salmon Favorelle Rooster. I've never seen a full-blooded silkie colored like that. Plus his feathers aren't as hair-like as most Silkie Roosters. Still a very handsome bird, though!

he came from a silkie farm and she paid quite abit for them so I assume full silkie but I could be wrong (I mean people lies right?)

This is him as a baby

I agree with Fuzzy Chicken Mama, I have a silkie rooster and the only spot he has actual feathers is his neck and tail. The rest is all silk-like hair.

Your roo has some silver lacing on his chest, definitely feathered, has a walnut comb, and a rather large pom pom, so I am guessing a silkie cross.

My questions for clarification are:
Does he have black skin everywhere?
Is he soft to touch (soft feathered or hard feathered)?
What colour earlobes?

good morning!
he does have black skin, his ears are blue, I’m unsure what you mean by the feather question, he is smooth all over if that helps. He is not “poofy” like the other one.

I'm thinking its 75% silkie, crossed with something else, not sure what. Most silkie roosters don't have a pom-pom that big, so maybe a breed that has roos like that.

Stripper? That's new to me.

Considering your handsome guy has a lot of color in his comb and wattles, and the fact that his comb appears to be a modified rose comb... He is mixed.

Maybe he's a stripper.... Whatever that may be.

He is satin version of a silkie, which is not 100%, but can be over 90% silkie, though unlikely as satins normally have all the other silkie characteristics, including walnut comb, black skin and 5 toes. Almost looks like he has mille fleur d'uccle mixed in. He is a pretty boy!
