I bought both of those babies from Tractor Supply, so I am unsure if they are considered hatchery birds or not. The silkies were labeled as bantams, but I did have more chicks (another barbed rock, another silkie, and two cornish) and the other baby silkie was half the size of the one I have now when they were babies, but only these two survived this far out of the six due to a bad case of coccidia last month. So I am not entirely sure if getting sick early in life might have affected feather growth or not.Barred rock is a pullet. I'm not used to beardless silkies. I would expect it to have more of a crest and fluffiness elsewhere. Is this a hatchery bird?
