Thanks for all the help. Looks like everyone agrees on what my little ones are. I'm very excited to see how the little OEG looks once he gets a little older. I'm thinking maybe the coloring is blue wheaten. I just love his coloring.
I have 2 bantams from TSC that I need help with identifying. The first is a feather footed lovely with a mellow temperament (loves to cuddle in our hands). No comb to speak of yet. Legs are a dark grayish underneath all those feathers. This chick has 4 toes on each foot.

Glad that your rescues are getting the royal treatment from you. I've heard that some hatcheries are worse than others. I'm in West Virginia and the chicks at our TSC's here are generally clean and healthy looking. I purchased 8 bantams Thursday but only four of them have made it.
I bought this little one at TSC 2 days ago along with some other various bantams. It was a new shipment and it was the only one like it in the bin. This TSC gets most of their chicks from Mt. Healthy. In person the coloring looks more black and white. The wing tips are snow white. The chick...
Thanks for the feedback. I'm new to silkies so I'm learning as I go. I have noticed that some have crests or puffs that are a little larger than the others. I have had 2 with curled toes. I of them didn't make it. The other is fine and dandy so we'll see what happens. Now to get the mud in...

Terrible year! We lost 2 roosters early on in the year from raccoons. Had to beef up security because more and more coons are scoping us out. We got 12 chicks at the end of March bringing our flock total to 17. Lost one of the Brahma chicks at about 7 weeks because of another raccoon...
Thanks welasharon! I did contact Dawg53. I gave her a bath and tried to massage her in case she is eggbound. I am also going to use the valbazen wormer. She is still acting strange but is still eating and drinking. She is a sweetie and I would hate to lose this one too.
