I’ve had chickens for years. Mostly normal size but I have had and do still have silkies. I decided to get some bantams from the local TSC and see a few silkies and some I have no clue 100% what they will be yet. There is one chick that looks like my sizzle but it has but light feet and normal...

This is an old thread but I have three 7 week old barn yard mix chicks with green eyes. None of my hens or roosters have green eyes. One of the chicks is a silkie

Thank you 😊
