bantam chick.jpg

 

I bought this Bantam chick for a gift for my friends daughter and we are totally confused on what it is... I purchased it at an Agway so all I know is it's a Banty. It has black feet, but not the extra toes, and it definately has a crest. It's older now so it actually has new feathers coming on it's crest forming a kind of mohawk. Which makes it kinda of comical. This picture was taken a few weeks ago, I am started to think it is a silkie but I don't know if the wings are right.

Thanks for any help I can get.

Oh they are definately hatchery...  I am thinking the one is either really nosey or a rooster.... every time we peek in the brooder he looks at us and watches to see what we are doing and if we pick another bird up he starts sqwaking.... maybe i am wrong...
