Hello! Can someone please help me identify this breed and assess the general look of this chicken? (One of two, they both look the same ) Please excuse my niece's room in advance. The lighting was the best there
The lady who gifted my sister last week said they're silkies (the 4 I ordered for my sister almost a year in advance sadly ALL arrived dead!!) and as you would have it, not even an hour later a kind stranger in the feed store offered to give my sis two of hers. And here they are!
They look nothing like silkies I've seen, they look a bit scraggly like feather boas LOL...but they're eating (a LOT) and seem super alert and healthy. They actually look more fluffy than last week when they first brought them home (these pictures were sent today) I was SO worried they were missing feathers but as I'm states away I can't make an in person assessment and maybe they're just less fluffy silkies? Or maybe their feathers are growing in?
I'm not sure how old they are for sure, but the lady said they were still chicks. Thank you!
