Silkie chick!!!

[prose15]

Probably a barred cochin

It could be a barred Cochin, but it doesn't look very Cochin like. They're usually round little fluff balls with VERY heavily feathered feet. But, it could also just be an awkward pose or gangly phase. At any rate, I'm betting its going to end up being a cockerel. Barred breeds and many of their mixes can be feather sexed and when there's that much white it means boy...

Thanks for the help by the way! And ya that's ok if it's a boy because I have 4 red sex link and 2 other chicks that are girls along with a bantam and a black chick that I'm not sure of yet but I'm gunna make a new thread with them to see what people think if you want to comment on those!

Likely a Silkie mix, those normal non shredded feathers are not Silkie like...
