What kind of chicken is this? Very small

I bought these thinking I was buying silkies. They are really small and fast.

Maybe Japanese bantams? Where did you get them from?

At running a in rapid city SD. Not sure what sex they are though. They are right around 5 months.

Definitely boys

They wouldn't have looked anything like silkies as chicks either

By the way, and I know you did not ask... (Sorry to mention it)

It might just be dirt, or the picture showing things as they aren't... But the first pic he looks like he has the beginnings of scaly mites. Maybe check his feet. Catching it early makes life so much simpler.

They are gorgeous by the way .. I hope you are able to keep them (my area forbids roosters)
