What breed and gender is our chick?

This is so random that a restaurant gave you a chick! Where is this restaurant and why don't restaurants do this for me!

In Spain! The restaurant is in Cabrera de Mar. It’s an old family farmhouse (made of stone and from the XII century) the same family that owns it run the restaurant. It’s quite common here for rural area restaurants to have their own chickens for eggs/chicken and grow their own vegetables. Kids can go play with the animals while adults have coffee after lunch, and sometimes they come back with a chick, which my daughter did

It’s called “Ca els Frares”, if want to look it up, has an interesting history

It's amazing! Honestly, I am viewed as completely nuts where I live to own chickens, it's not remotely normal so I have no hope of a restaurant owning chickens or growing their own veg let alone them giving chicks away.

It must be amazing where you live

How he sleeps on the couch with our daughter
In a week he is moving permanently with the adult hens (he still sleeps at home with us in a big dog crate) as he is now big enough… and I’m going to miss this so much

Beyond precious.

Once he goes out with the big girls, it would be best not to treat him as a pet any longer. You don't want him turning into a spoiled disrespectful, nasty rooster.

Yeah I know… that’s why this is the last week and then he will stay the nights in the coop too (he is there during the day now).

He's one of the cutest little cockerels I've seen. Hope his transition goes well!

9 weeks! Still no wattles maybe because of the silkie part? As cochin bantams and bcm normally should have wattles by now right?
