Identify This Chick

[FlyAnywayAJ]

I have acquired this unwanted month old chick because "Dad" is unknown and she breeds silkies. I know that "Mom" is a black bearded silkie. Legs are dark grey with no feathers and the skin is pink. Tiny crown is yellow-ish. Also a very good flier! It's about the same size (maybe slightly smaller) and much less fluffy than it's "siblings" of the same age. Just starting to get gold feathers around the shoulders and throat areas.
Any thoughts?
BTW It doesn't matter to me, I have a barnyard mix, I'm mostly just curious.
Thanks

Hi, welcome to BYC!

If you are trying to find out what the mix is we need to know what kind of other rooster are there in order to make an educated guess.

That's a mighty cute baby!

Yes that would be helpful, unfortunately I don't have that information. I may never know and that's ok. Worth a shot.

Are you able to call them and ask?

Aww!!!! so cute!!

I agree, I think it would be a good idea to call them. It's kind of hard to identify what the rooster was based off the chick, but she sure is cute!

Ya, knowing what all kind of roosters she have... we can probably make a good guess based on the clues. Definitely cute... hope it IS a girl!

If no info on father is available, it’s most likely a barnyard mixed breed. Cutie, though..

She doesn't know as she only has silkies which she breeds. She figures a neighbour's chicken flew into her coop, did his thing and flew away.
She thinks there are dutch bantams not too far away which she says are flighty so she thinks that is possible, but can't say for sure.
Colouration is starting to change now, getting gold feathers around the neck/shoulders and a tiny yellow crown.
I am also hoping for a girl, but I haven't a clue! May have to wait until there's either an egg or a crow!
