These cuties just hatched. Unsure if they are pure silkies or Bhrama/silkie cross. Any experts able to determine the breed - pure or cross? They all have 5 toes but it seems even a silkies cross can have 5 toes….

Brahma and silkie crosses will be smooth, not silkied. That will be your giveaway. The chick is adorable! ❤️

When they grow feathers, you will be able to tell for sure.
Pure Silkies will have silkie feathers, Brahma/silkie cross with have normal feathers.
