   Hey I have 5 chicks that hatched a day early, and realised that my leghorns were smaller than what I assumed to be a silkie chick. It has 5 toes and feathery legs. It's the darker coloured one in the picture.The leghorn is the one right next to it in the middle of the photo.

   Some chicks just vary in size. The Leghorns, if a little small, generally hatch up within the first month or so. Silkies, for being a small breed of chicken, I've noticed don't start out as small as say, my LF EE or even my Bantam EE's.
