What the heck am I? Plus bonus silkie ??

The sweet little chick in the center is supposed to be a RIR, but it is def not. They came from a farm and the man has no sex links...what go you think?

Ok, so what happened here? My silkie lines are pure and from some of the best breeders. This little one was born with PERFECT feet, a huge vaulted skull and pink skin???? What the heck? But isn't it cute?!

sure your silkie isn't a sultan?

100% sure...I don't have any sultans...

anytime you breed something pure like that its always a chance of something changing....

Is there a reddish hue to the eye? It's possibly amelenistic!! That could be a very exciting find for the chicken world....perhaps a new variety

In rabbits they're called Ruby Eyed Whites and they're some of the most competitive colors.

Adorable silkie - I wouldn't mind a breeding trio or quad of amelanistic silkies.

I was thinking about keeping it...it is super sweet and perfect in all other standards. Maybe I should hold on to these misfits!

weird, must be some genetic fluke then. . . . .the 5 toes and pink/white skin made me think Sultan, will be interesting to see how your chick grows out!
