Ok, this one is 4 months old now and I'm hoping someone can help! Single comb, which is making it a little harder to tell because I can't look for the big walnut like typical silkies. Not crowing, but does "spar" with my bantam cochin who is same age and crowing.

Thanks so much! I'll just wait it out then :) I love Northern CA coast, so beautiful up there! I had an aunt who lived about as far north as you can go also, it was a treat to visit up there!

I am located in Escondido(San Diego, CA)Yea the single comb silkie has five toes and black skin, as do he other 2. I'm pretty sure the gentleman who helped me told me the hatchery name they came from, by I can't recall. He said they got chicks from a few different ones. But perhaps the bantams...
