What is this?

[Chickem707]

I’ve asked this before, but it really does puzzle me what my little chick is. I was told she could come from parents of welsummer, marans or brahma breeds. I’m pretty sure she’s part silkie, but anyone have any idea what else?

Coloring would indicate Welsummer cross to, yes... Silkie.

Not Marans. Do you now which color Brahma was the possibility?

Did you already treat her for parasite? Sorry for asking, if you already told me.

Judging by the second photo, the beak is over grown. Looks like it was caged for long periods of time. Un caged birds naturally trim their beaks by digging and dragging them in sand and such.

As far as the breed, a barnyard mix silkie maybe.

It's a French welsummer hun

I wasn’t told, I thought possibly golden partridge.
And I haven’t treated for parasites yet.

Yeah, she’s unable to walk currently, i was looking for ways to trim it down before it obstructs her eating.

She has lacing so she could be part campine

If this the bird that's also paralyzed... the parasite activity indicated by feather condition WILL have heavy impact on recovery... could even be vitamin deficit from the parasite and POSSIBLY not Marek's.

Please treat her right away... even if you don't see what I am talking about.

Nice catching details... she is probably much older than I realized.

Noticing people have to trim beaks in older birds, I was worried about mine... So I started offering fermented feed as a daily treat on top of a few bricks!
