I'm pretty positive the two white ones are silkie crosses, the brown/multi colored one I'm not sure of nor the black/grey one... We had a broody hen so I placed an add on CL for a rooster, the kind women who gave us the roo also donated fertile eggs for our hen...these four are the result. I know the pic isnt the greatest but Momma will call them away if I get any closer... :)
 
Oh and they will be 6 wks tomorrow... They all have feathered feet, the roo we got is a Domenique/cross , not sure if he is father/brother or uncle to one or more of these.
 
All 4 are part silkie, the fuzzy(Silkied) ones are likely pure Silkie, as the silkie gene is recessive. Both parents have to have and/or carry the gene for the chicks to show it
 


I know this is a bantam chick but not sure if female or male or what breed?
Rooster. He has a lot of his pointed saddle(back) and hackle(neck) feathers in. That is also a rooster coloration, hens wont look like that.

Not sure on breed, could be a Rock or Welsummer. Its hard to tell with the coloration because they look similar

He is almost 20weeks and has been a big ?
all our others have crowed and grew so much faster.
 
Thanks, Seemed like thats what I was told but couldnt remember....Lost one of the white ones today, snuck thru the fence and the neighbors dog got it... Sad, My Grandsons came to spend the day with me (4 and 3) and they found it over the fence...
