It's all Squishie's Fault!

Do not let Squishy off the hook. We all know that she was a bad influence. It's Squishy's fault.

Yeah! That's right! Bad influence she is! I never even thought of having chickens until she showed me silkies and BYC. Now I spend way too long here reading posts instead of doing housework

If all else fails, we can always blame it on Squishy.

I don't think I would have been able to walk away from those cuties, either.

The white with the 5 toes, even though it doesn't show signs of much of a crest, could also be a sultan. They are 5 toed, feather footed and have pink skin.

You could be right! I will have to take another photo of her so you can see her wing feathers...they are really long now

True, but the chick in question is buff, which is a variety that sultan's don't come in. Also, the chick obviously has black skin

It's a buff silkie. No doubt about it. Hatcheries don't sell crosses, so you will never get a "Cochin/silkie cross!". The reason that the silkie has only 4 toes on one side is because hatcheries sell horrible quality birds. When you have horrible quality birds, they won't have perfect toes

Your chicks are gorgeous, good luck with them
