Partridge Silkie or Cochin???

[wvchix]

6 days old and still wondering what type of chick this is. I know it's a Bantam of some sort!

my little buff brahma mixed bantams looked like that with chipmunk stripes and feathery wings. They had the partridge looking coloring on their wings too.

Silkie Cross.

Any idea what it could be crossed with? At what age should I be able to tell the sex?

Silkies are hard to sex but if it gets the comb and wattles of the other part, you may be able to tell by 6 - 8 weeks old

Does that mean it's a rooster?

Not necessarily. If the comb and wattles start growing and turning pink/red, that would mean a rooster...but, if the comb stays nice and flat and colorless...it's a little pullet

Thanks. I'm hoping for girls!
