    Slow Silkie Growth

    I got this little guy at 4 days old, it is now 5 weeks old. It had a sibling which died suddenly, but was very small and growing really slowly, and was frquently pasty, it was the weaker of the two for sure. This is my first time raising silkies, but I feel like this chick looks much younger...

    Can anyone who raises Red Jungle Fowl tell me at about what age they can usually be sexed? Only one Red Jungle Fowl chick hatched out, so I dont have any others to compare to.

    They breeder told me this was a pullet when I bought it a few days ago. After getting home, I seriously have my doubts. It is also supposedly 3-4 months old, and an Easter Egger. Any thoughts?

    Ideas on breed? Maybe mix? Pulley, hopefully?

    I know the breeder that the feed store got it from had Barred Rocks, Marans, Easter Eggers, Rhode Island Reds, and Silkies. This was sold to me as a black silkie, haha, I didn't know any better at the time.

    Breed?

    Anyone know what breed these 3 (the little ones, 2 white1 black ) 1 1/2wk old chicks are? I was told they were Silkie's, but I do not believe this is the case.
