In the Brooder
This chick is named Twinkie and is the result of a bantam splash sizzle (silkie/Cochin) on a buff Orpington. That's Maude, my super sweet broody who hatxhed the eggs. I have no idea what Twinkie will look like but I'm excited to see the progress. This photo is maybe at 3 days old. It's been a week and her wing feathers are sorta gray sorta brown. Who knows! My only concern is her stance up there on mom, a little "cocky" if you ask me. If buff orps can be sexed by wings then the wings were more female but again, this bird is three different things in one
