My silkie x bantam cochin chicks hatched just a week ago and out of black and white parents, I've ended up with 6 yellow and 2 black. My problem though is that all the chicks have the father's 5 toes but are also all quickly growing wing feathers so I don't know what breed they will turn into. Does anyone have pictures of cochin or silkie chicks at a week or two old so I can see the differences?
Also, when I feather checked them, they all turned out female. I saw online that since the female determines the gender of the chicks and she has always laid round eggs, that there's a good chance that all the chicks are actually female.
