This bunch of teeny chicks was given to me and are said to be somewhere around 6 weeks. I was told that the mama is a silky? She had a total of 12 peeps but they were disappearing one by one. The 7 remaining are shown in the photo below. The papa was identified only as a small 'green rooster'. Not much help, I know.
In order to care for them properly, I've been searching the breeds list but not getting very far. Some have feathered feet, some have crested heads. The little roosters are crowing and also doing what full grown roosters do - picking back of neck and mounting - yet they are so very tiny! Any help would be appreciated...
