I have a chick that I bought as a Japanese bantam but quickly realized it is crossed with silkie. It does not have silkie feathering.

After some observation he is having frequent Diarrhea as part of his symptoms. Just a note that the other side of his face is fine.

I was doing a nightly check up and noticed that my rooster's right eye is extremely swollen. This has been the first super hot day this year and I don't know if that has anything to do with it. It looks like it has some clear discharge...

3 looks to be a sicilian buttercup 2 and 7 are probably EE's  8 looks like a Quail D'Anver 10 looks like my Hatchery RIR's did.

I have a silkie who just turned a year old who still hasn't layed. I've stopped expecting it, she's special and seems to be fully healthy.

Mine have different eye colors. For example my rooster's eyes are bright orange, while my easter egger's are a muted brown.

In the first picture the bird with the distinct white in the chipmunk pattern may be a welsummer, mine looks just like that. The Ee's are less distinct.
