Help! Mystery Chicks!

Posts keep dropping off this thread.. What's going on!

It certainly sounds like they are silkies that lack leg feathers. What are their combs like? My silkies are large fowl but I think in America they are almost all bantam size.

they have small single black combs

I don't have a clue. Which ever one Tractor Supply gets its chicks from

Quote: You can ask them. It would be a lot easier to ID the chicks if we knew what they do and don't have.

My wife said they use Murray McMurray hatchery

Hmm, it isn't a silkie. At least not a pure one with the lack of leg feathering and those normal feathers. It isn't one of the other 5 toed breeds either (Houdans, Sultans, Faverolles and Dorkings).

Only thing I can think of at this point is mixed breed.
