ahhh that is really cute.

I really like the color of her.

Thanks! Yeah, she's a great lavender...too bad about the skin...***sigh***

here is the picture of the one that i was talking about. Let me know what you think

 

[Cloverleaf Farm]

Huh...that's really interesting. I'd say from the intensity of the yellow that it's going to definitely stay that way, but I dunno why it happens...

I'd guess she's a mix. That's okay (unless you paid alot for a Silkie...) One of my prettiest hens is a mutt.

 

[AHappychick]

is that from the same batch as the red silkie mix you posted? if so whoever you got your eggs from had a mixed pen as that is not a pure silkie.

 

[greenfamilyfarms]

Yeah, and the absence of leg and foot feathering makes it likely that the chick is a mix or very, very poor quality.

very nice. Is she the first one?. I guess you wouldnt have a picture of her whole body. ?

I have an all white Satin and Silkie (I’ll snap a picture of her tonight). I’ve been breeding them that way for -almost 3 years. In addition to having white skin, they hatch from blue eggs. Still need many more generations to breed true, but getting closer.
