Bought some Bantams at Tractor Supply, 3 of them are Silkies, but I can't figure out what the 4th chick is.

Since the last time I posted, I've become a substitute teacher and a school I subbed at happened to be right next to a Tractor Supply. So of course I made the choice of walking in after work and somehow leaving with a box of 4 bantams lol. I had to give away my entire flock last August for a stupid neighbor reason, but that neighbor has since moved out, so I wanted to get more chicks but on a smaller scale this time.

I know three of the chicks I have are Silkies, but I don't know the breed of the other one at all. It also has feathered feet, but doesn't have the crown feathering/down that the Silkies have and is feathering out differently. It also has feathered feet, which I'm not sure if the photos show very well. In these pics, they are almost 2 weeks old.

It is possibly a Cochin.

It's a Dark Brahma Bantam!

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I agree with Rhodebar Lover that it's a Dark Brahma Bantam, and I thought it would be cool to upload some progress pics for future people searching to identify their chicks. (And just to show off) From 3 to 5 weeks of growth. Still unsure of gender, but with a few more weeks I think I should be able to tell.

Silkies have an extra toe and black skin.

He's a cockerel! Notice the lack of pencilling in the breast feathers. He'll be quite handsome

Based on his stance alone, I was leaning heavily towards cockerel. Just gonna have to hope my neighbors don't complain when he finds his voice.
