In the Brooder
Ok, I'm back! I visited a friend yesterday and she had a pen of silkies. I haven't ever had any silkies, so I'm completely lost on this breed. The only thing I knew was that they tend to go broody. Anyway, in this pen with them was 4 chicks. They didn't look like what I would imagine a silkie chick to look like so I asked if they were mixed with anything bc she had previously told me they were silkie chicks, she said no. That the silkies laid them and sat on them, and that they had all stayed in that pen together. I took them anyway, went home and did some research and I don't think the are silkie chicks AT ALL! They have 4 toes, and they don't have silkie feathers! They seem to have the same growth of feathers as my other chicks that are the same age, but they are tiny! There is 4 of them, 3 have the start of feathers on their legs. And they look like tge have straight combs. I'm certain the other chickens in that pen were silkies, but what the heck are these chicks?! Any guesses? Thanks!
Sorry, the pics were hard to get....these chicks were scared to death and just tremble when held.
