Is my little roo a silkie?

| I got this guy when i knew absolutely nothing about silkies. (Now I know next to nothing). He was a free chicken and I was told thats what he was. Since then I have acquired two silkie hens. Which makes me realize he has way more normal feathers than he should. He definitely meets the sweet, and less than brilliant qualifications, as well as being tiny. Just wondering if maybe he is mixed.or has a recessive gene pulling through. Either way, I love him and he is here to stay. [link] [comments] |
