Your "Silkie" has a crossed- bill. With a Dog Nippers, you might be wise to clip, just a bit of each tip of the crossed bill, which will help the top and lower beak meet and the bird can eat better. ---Just a little and it won't bleed. Beaks regrow, so in 6 months or later, it will need to be done again.
No, the dear bird, looks like a pullet, does not look like a purebred Silkie--no matter-- unless you hoped to breed correct Silkies (but cannot claim Purebred) You can enjoy her and later, her eggs to eat, and not to worry!

View attachment 1048742 Does anyone have any ideas about this chicken? I'm almost one hundred percent sure it's a hen but I just wanted to make sure. It's name is Neptune and it is a Welsummer Barred rock mix.

I love the painted toe nails! Sorry, off track... hen!

Thank you so much for the advice of the bill. I was in the process of looking up what I can do to help her. It doesn't matter to me if she is a purebred. I have NO plans of showing or selling chicks in the future. I just think she is adorable and so sweet.
