I have a Silky Amraucana also, five toes is a dead give away. I also have a Silky Polish Crested (my profile pic), love her plan on mating her with my Silky Amraucana if it's a boy, only a week old so can't really tell.

Interesting.. but its already been established that these are not crossbreeds (no dark skin/5 toes/etc) but a standalone mutation.

I know this thread is mostly about the fluffy split of this gene, but the three I have came from Chookschicks and turned out to be smooth split of the gene. Could you help me tell if they are hens or roos? Great chicks, smart and affectionate. I think they are about six weeks old.

And last of the three...Twilight



So...hens? roos? I live in the city and any roos need new home.

At this point I would call them all hens, but the Ameraucanas tend to trick me, so maybe someone else will chime in.
