White Silkie with pink skin

[LuvnChickens]

I have about 50 white silkies and they all look about the same, black skin. Except one has pink skin, any ideas why? She has the five toes and the blue on her face.

Hi,
Could this one be albino?
Cheers and good luck.

Albino chickens are pretty rare. Is it from your flock with two dark skinned parents? Is all the skin light, or just some? Photos?

All the skin is pink, and he also has white legs & feet. He does have the 5 toes. As far as the parents, I bought the eggs on Ebay and hatched them in my incubator. All the rest of the eggs I hatched from the same seller were normal. Here are some pics of him.

Yesteray I really checked out my flock and found I have a hen that also has the pink skin, but has black feet????? Hmmmm

Hatchery quality...they often have missing breed traits

Skin colour is regulated by W and Fm genes. Silkies should be W+/W+ Fm/Fm

Leg and feet colour is also regulated by the Id gene; silkies should be id+/id+. Many breeds have white or yellow skin and dark legs/feet.

I got a showgirl roo from an ebay batch of silkie and showgirl eggs. He has white skin and 5 toes too. Well.. I guess he is red skinned now, at least on his neck

I have twin roo chick's with yellow skin and the others I hatched w them have dark skin. I thought it was weird. So I kept looking . Thanx for posting. Feisty Lil guys are so rare.
