black silkie or black Cochin bantam?

[ngrenier11]

Hi can anyone tell me what the differences are between the 2 in chicks? I have a black bantam with feathered feet and I'm not sure how to tell what she is? Or is it too early to tell?

Does she have an extra toe? (5 toes)

 

[ngrenier11]

Haha guess I've never looked at the feet before but yes there are 5 toes

Then it's a silkie.

Yes, Silkie's have 5 toes while Cochin's have 4 (like almost every other chicken).

It is a Black Silkie and it's much to early to tell the gender, since Silkies are do hard I would wait twelve weeks or so and post more pictures.
