Who’s My Mommy? The Sequel

[Oncoming Storm]

Yes but the op has other threads of similar nature where the trait was passed on.. this leads to the thought that by looking at the feathers that the father could be the silkie... and by the colour of the chick I would suggest that the mother is the blue mix...

BUT... that is only going on previous threads and photos that were posted on these threads... believe me when I say I’m no expert or experienced chicken keeper I’m still learning myself.... I’m just going by what has been provided

The silkie in question is actually only 1/4 silkie. His pop was a silkie cross and the mom was a full RIR.

I’m not saying a naked neck is the father, but at this point there’s an equally likely chance. The OP has three NN roosters, one of which does have a full bowtie.

The feathers on this little chick do look very satiny there’s always a chance of a throw back gene...

I do believe that one is too young and therefore is ruled out...
to be honest I don’t know much about NN (not my cup of tea)

All the NNs are fully mature (which doesn’t make this easier)

lol then I have no idea... I still think maybe the silkie cross..,

I did feel kind of a silkie-ish vibe when he fully dried off. I’m just not sure that it would show up so much with the cross only having 1/4 silkie to begin with.

All I can think of is a throw back gene

Guys! We’re back at three and a halfish weeks old. What’re we thinking on possible parents and color? I can get a better head shot. He was being ornery when I took this, so it was all I could get at the time.

He looks a lot like a splash, which wouldn’t be possible unless his father was blue or splash. Can you post pictures of the possible fathers?
