first time chick owner! and a mystery chick!

[chickeroo2]

Hello! I've been lurking around your forums gleaning information about 5 little chicks I picked up on a whim. (I now know I was not properly prepared.. but i'm learning) I picked up 2 silkies and 2 frizzles. The breeder had hatched a mixed bunch of eggs and was unsure of the breed of one little chick I had picked out. She suggested it may be a sultan... but after researching sultans I dont think it is. This chick has 4 toes and google says sultans have 5. I think it may be a pekin?

[/IMG][/IMG][/IMG]We had a really windy night a couple days ago and it blew the cover off my brooder I now have a couple runny noses and sneezes. I added apple cider vinegar to their water and just picked up some vet rx from tractor supply. I also picked up some probiotics and electrolytes... worried!

Little buff silkie chick

Splash silkie? He/she is such a cutie! Any ideas on sexes? I kniw its still too early.. but its fun to guess!

I grew up with game chickens everywhere.. never understood the fascination. They were just... chickens. But these little guys have me addicted! Lol!

Your first chick is a frizzle silkie (frilkie). The mystery chick is a white frizzled Cochin. I can't really tell color on the last chick since the pic is kinda far away, but it looks blue to me Cute babies!!!

Thank you Nikki!!! It is nice to know what he is.. I will try to get some better pics when it warms up in a few days. They are small and fast And mad at me right now.. that vet rx is kinda messy! Lol!

i think the black one is a sizzle (frizzle silkie) sometimes they dont have a 5th toe i have a silkie hen missing the 5th toe.

ShowGirl12 the black one has 5 toes. I have been researching sizzles frizzles and frilkies for days. Still not sure the difference!! Lol!
I got some better pics of her today.. her chest feathers have a golden brown edging and her fluffy butt is a bluey silver color. Is she a black?

Also I have some better pics of the one you couldn't see good.. he is a strange color.. anyone know what it is?
