So your saying the first chicken is a silkie mix even though he has no silkie feathers?
The Second chicken yes that is evident due to the silky feathers. But I was asking about the first one. So maybe I was not clear
This is not the best picture but he has a little puff of feathers under his comb and his comb is flat walnut type with what looks like two little for in the back. He is quite docile and quiet.
I purchased a hen at an auction with 10 chicks, I did not sex them. But someone did all but two...
I have seached the forum and have a couple questions unanswered. I hope someone has time to reply.

Monkey Fart
Goats milk
with a toy (wont be able to see toy right away makes it more exciting more like a prize, maybe less likely to melt it away for the toy)
Maybe you could have a monkey burp smell (bannana) just being silly
I have read about other chickens with simular things on the forum but none of the symptoms fit my hen.
She has no discharge, no yucky smell and she feels fine and is eating fine.
She is not sneezing or having any trouble that I can see at all.
Its not swollen and puffy and hot like infection...
