Hi, I have got these 2 chickens last week. They were handed into a pet store, so no history or information.
They needed nails cutting and a general cleaning and grooming.
I have isolated the until I am happy they are free from anything. They will then go into my Coop of 5 Silkie Hens.
I was wondering what breed they are?
They are a pair, (Hen and Rooster) The Hen is having difficulty walking, think its due to her very very long nails, which I have now cut down and filed. So keeping an eye on her.
Thank you in advance.

They both have silkied feathers, it's just they don't have the fluffy quality of show-quality Silkies.
 
This is one of my Silkies, just started laying. She is about 8 months.

This one as yet unsure of gender

These are kept as a hobby, not for show as I'm yet to find many people who keep silkies locally here in Spain
