I wouldn't think a chick this young would be as big as it appears it is if it came from a Silkie size egg. I am judging by the hand holding it though if it is a childs hand in the photo it will make more sense.

looks like a mix actully. or some kind of black game bantam

I sure hope it is a bantam, a large bird would not work well with my silkies. We'll see. Thanks for all the replies. if I ever figure out what it is, I will let you know. I'll take more pictures in another month and get opinions then.
Thanks Again!!

What size egg did it hatch from? Regular large or bantam? It does't look like a bantam size to me.

The egg was the same size as what our silkies lay.

No idea but it's really cute! Please do update when you know!

wait! I looked at your chick again and noticed something unusual, that white area right around the beak and it reminded me of a thread I just read about someone's new chicks! Could it be one of these Minorcas? I read on a hatchery site the egg is white and the hen is 4 lbs, the roo, 5.

Ok, we have silkies but we went to an auction and someone gave my daughter an egg.  She insisted on seeing if it would hatch so we placed it in the incubator.  Memorial Day weekend this is what hatched!! 
He or she is just over 2 weeks old, any ideas would be appreciated on what kind and male/female.
Thanks

Ok i just got done looking threw one of my chicken books.Turns out this little chicky could still be a Jersey Gaint BANTAM!!Didnt know they came Bantam size but they do!!!!!Cocks weighing 38oz and Hens 34oz. Who knew?Maybe we just figured out what the mistery chick is. (;
