What kind of silkie (color etc?)

[TheOddOneOut]

Not pure.

I agree, he is a mixed breed. A satin is not a breed of silkie, so how it can be 'show quality' as the breeder states is beyond me.

He is indeed a satin, which is a feather type. It means he is a silkie crossed with a hard feathered breed. He has silkie in him, but he isn't a silkie.

He is very good looking though!

Not a Silkie. Possibly a satin. He’s beautiful. Not a recognized color.

The other one is a partridge showgirl (not a stripper)

Show me the official breed standard then....

It is just a mixed breed chicken with silkie in it.

I have bred some from my own flock. Little darlings they are, but purebred they are not.

WTH is a stripper chicken?

Satins are a breed. They are not recognized in the US yet but there are many people currently working on this. They have been refined by breeders for more than 25 years. SOPs are being written.

A stripper is a showgirl x showgirl. They have a completely bare neck (no bowtie).

If you go to my page on Facebook, I have several stripper hens.

Does it pluck its own feathers out one by one, while giving you the eye, and gyrating to Hey Big Spender?

In this photo, the two on the right are strippers; and the one on the left is a showgirl.
