What breed is my roo?

[mairivc]

Does anyone know what breed or breed mix my little roo is? He's approaching 6 months but is quarantined because he is sick. I would also like to know if anyone has a guesstimate of how much he may weigh when he grows up. I'm also attaching a picture of him as a chick for reference.

Looks like a silkie mix.

5-6lbs at most.

Ohh interesting. I always thought that his head feathers were fluffy due to him being sick, but that sounds awesome and it would be great if he doesn't grow bigger than 5-6lbs. He's currently 1 lb 14 oz.

How big is he?

It depends on what he's mixed with, will determine how heavy he'll be.

Ohh ok. Here's a pic of him in my hands for refference. I guess he's like 11 inches long when outstretched like that. Idk if he's under or overweight at 1lb 14oz, but he does look chunky.

Okay, he's a silkie bantam mix.

He's probably gonna be about 2-2½, or 2½ - 3lbs, or at heaviest 4lbs.
