TSC bantam babies

[twitterpated]

Ok everyone, I picked up 6 bantams from the bin at TSC (1 unfortunately didn’t make it) and need help identifying the breed of one of them. I’m pretty sure the first 4 are silkies as they all have 5 toes, dark skin and feathered feet.

But what could this one be?

It’s the only one with 4 toes, feathered feet and dark skin. I was told either an oddball Silkie or possibly a Cochin, but do Cochins have the dark skin too? Either way I’ll still love them to pieces but I do have to admit I’m over the moon I got some silkies in the bunch! What do y’all think?

It’s most likely a Silkie it could have been crossed or just is missing a toe

Precious silkie babies!

Might be a porcelain

I miss my Blue Silkie She was very sweet. Died of a broken heart.

We had to get rid of her rooster. Sorry bout the poo in pic.

It is a white silkie. I have seen hatchery quality silkies that only have four toes on each foot.

@Ms Clucky Do you mean a porcelain d’uccle? They would have light skin and different colored feathers.

 

[Ms Clucky]

Oh. I only had one and not for long. Someone came over a started to cry cause they had one and it died, so I just gave it to them. He was getting beat up by the silver duckwings and silver sebrights anyway

All silkies, nice variety you got! Cochins have yellow skin. Sometimes hatchery silkies will have 4 toes on one foot and 5 on another, or both feet have 4 also. That one does look white.
