crazy kc Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 If it was a silkie it should have black skin. How many toes has it got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 It doesn't look like one, silkies have dark skin and legs, topknots and five toes That could be a Brahma maybe?? What was it soldto you as? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janepie33 Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 Sorry about the GIANT picture. Trying to resize it in photobucket didn't work! Only 4 toes. Was trying to find out what it might be as I kidnapped it and 2 others from a local nursery. I have another one the same and a little black one which I have had to quarantine as my other babies (only 2 weeks older) keep trying to eat its toes (which are black). PS The nursery were happy for me to have them as they were going back to the farm they came from as eggs, some of which were blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffy chick Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 yeah it's not a silke, how many toes does the black skinned one have? Maybe that's a silky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janepie33 Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 Just counted and that one has 4 too. Shame. I was getting all excited thinking I had a silkie!Suppose I'll just have to wait to see how they develop and hope they are all girls.

Janepie33 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Maybe a cochin or a pekin??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I was thinking Pekin too. Maybe a partridge one. Keep us updated with photos. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Perhaps she (or he ) is not a pure breed but a Pilkie (Pekin x Silkie). My friend says they are lovely chooks so be pleased if you have one of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jossy Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 It looks like my chicks... Could it be a sablepoot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janepie33 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 What a lovely little chick. Have never heard of a sablepoot. They look very similar. The two I have have blue rings around their eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Ah the gangly teenager phase I'm sticking with Brahma and guessing at cockerel It could just be a cross breed though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janepie33 Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Really really hope it's not a boy. Think this one might be though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie333 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Not a silkie. I'm going with Brahma cross.. Somehow looks a bit tall for a Pekin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Partridge Cochin boy is my guess. Looks just like my ' Boon' did at that age. He is a big big boy now. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janepie33 Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Nearly Grown up. Boy at the top. Girl at the bottom. Not really sure about the middle one. He / she definitely acts more like a girl than a boy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chortle Chook Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Beautiful colours. Could they have Brahma and some Game element in them? (I suggest the game element as they seem to have such an upright stance ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
