What kind of bantam chick is this?

[SilkieChicks99]

I bought this bantam a few weeks ago and I'm not sure what breed it is.

I'm drawing a blank here. When your chick is 6-8 weeks old, you can post photos at "what breed or gender is this." I can't quite decide on color - it is a red or brown chick?

It's dark red. Here's a most recent pic of it.

Welcome!

Sorry, I have bantams but have no idea what your little one is; besides very cute that is! This is a link to the Breed & Gender Forum Diva mentioned: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this

I have my very first Silkie and I was wondering if they require more TLC than most chickens. I want to raise more in the future but I am just starting with one for now. (Dottie Blue (Silkie) on the left.)

She kind of looks like a Rhode Island Red but can those be Bantams?

 

[SilkieChicks99]

Yes they can but I thought she was to dark but maybe not
