I was told this little Silkie x Cochin hatched around middle of August. So it should be around 16 weeks old.
I really hope it is a pullet, because I can’t have roosters where I live 😔

She told me she bought the chicken, September 11th when it was 4 - 5 weeks old.
It is really tiny compared to my about 10 weeks old Buff Orbingtons and my other 8 weeks old chickens 😄

It is such a sweetheart and don’t mind at...
I picked up this little cutie 3 days ago. The seller told me she bought the chicken as a Chochin Bantam. But she thinks it is a Silkie or Silkie x Cochin Bantam.
