HELP.. need to find out what this baby is!!!

[rfhansen]

I have a mystery chick... It's smaller than a silkie chick and is supposed to be a red golden pheasant. I bought 7 "pheasant" eggs from a farmer and the eggs took 22 days to hatch. So far only one chick has hatched. But it doesn't resemble a pheasant chick and is too small to be a silkie chick.

The chick is gray with a green tinge, only stands at 3 inches, and has 5 toes. I will post pics tmrw.

Is there anyway you can post a pic?

Well considering its got 5 toes and black feet, do you think it could be just a very small silkie? There are only a few breeds that have 5 toes, and looking the others up I didn't see any chicks with the same coloring feet as yours... Im not very experienced but maybe a small silkie? Sorry if I wasn't helpful

Good luck with your mystery chick

Silkie chicks are small. That sounds the right sort of size to me.

I have many silkies and chicks too, this one seems too small... The eggs I got were supposed to be red golden pheasant. NOT silkie

Looks like a silkie to me...a very cute one. It looks to have the right colouring and toes.

thats an adorable blue silkie!!!!!!! my little poof looked like that, shes still tiny when you compare her to the rest of the flock!

looks exactly like what my poof and FDR looked like as newbies

DEFINITELY a Silkie. No doubt about it.


You got scammed by that farmer.

Im convinced its a Silkie, I think I was mislead only because he was soo tiny compared to my other chicks
