What am I!?

Hello! So my baby chick is now 2 weeks old. Her mother was a silkie but I'm not sure about her father. She has black skin and five toes. But i don't see any puffy frather on her head. Here is a picture of her

Also, is it too soon to know if she's actually a pullet or a crockorel?

Obvious question but, who was the rooster? Do the parent birds belong to you, and if so what are the options? It is way too young to tell gender, although I believe there is a sex link trait in silkie crosses

That 's the thing, I have no idea about the rooster. I bought her and all i knew was that her mother was definetely a silkie because I saw her, but I couldn't see it's father. Maybe he was a silkie too, but since I -still- don't see a puffy head I really don't know.

Are her wing feathers coming in solid? If so she's definitely a cross. I did have some crested chickens that only developed the crests in their fifth week though

If it was a pure Silkie you would be able to see the crest upon hatching. As for gender post new pictures in 4-5 weeks.

You wouldn't be able to tell the gender at this age.
