Doesn't look like it has a whole lot of sultan to me.......... the foot feathering isn't quite right; sultans shouldn't have that kind of a comb (mine don't, and I am 99% certain at least one of them is a boy) and then I don't see any vulture hocks.  Here's what mine looked like at 2 weeks:

That being said, if he's mixed, it's hard to say what the outcome will be, because you never (or at least I don't, lol) know what's going to show and what's not. Mine have the really crookedy beak, too. Fwiw.  Mystery chicks can be fun, or they can be aggravating, for sure!

I love sand!!!! In my case it's free as I have a dry riverbed on my property but it's wonder for silkies. They are always clean. Never any mud or smell and I feel like it keeps them disease free and external parasite free. I mix in DE in there bedding and dusting holes.

Wow that sounds great. Currently I'm using wood chips but we did just have some mite problems (thankfully all cleared up now). celebrate.gif

I think it would be rather expense for me to buy though. hu.gif
