My Black Australorp went broody. Since we don't have a rooster, I got her some hatching eggs. The person I got the eggs from has Blue Australorp hens but her rooster is a mystery...she knows he is half Blue Australorp but unsure of his father. Possibly silkie since he has 5 toes and some feathering on his legs but he also has barred hackle feathers and a single comb and Blue normal (not silkie) feathers. Sorry I didn't think to take a pic of him.
I know they are really just a barnyard mix but anyway here are the 6 babies that hatched, any idea what they are mixed with? I will post more pics as they grow. Some of them have 4 toes & some 5 toes, a few have a feather or two on their legs. Guesses welcome on what they will look like as they grow up....
What are the chances of them having silkie feathers?

if the rooster is a half silkie, he would have standard feathers.
