Little Buster was so close to his hatching date. Poor little guy.

Ahhh well see there...I looked at a book and I could only see 3 toes so I thought I had it narrowed down. Both of those breeds are beautiful to me so it's a win, win.
Love that columbian pattern around the neck! I also love the lacing though

YES, thank you for saying that! It does have a muff on each side of it's cheeks and like a beard under it's beak. I looked at the Belgian d'Anver and d'Uccle too. Noticed the lack of feathering on the d'Anver and kicked that one out of the mix.

Funny you should say that as I was looking at my silkies feet today and rubbing them. I noticed that some have larger feet than others...could they be BOYS???

I'm thinking Mille Fleur d'Uccle since you mentioned puffy cheeks. I just remembered I had 2 a while back & they looked a lot like your little chick, even the partial lacing in the wing feathers as chicks.

Can I get some help on sexing my silkies. With all the extra fluff I'm having difficulty seeing the rows.

Silkies are extremely hard to sex, it depends on the age. Most say they can't be sexed until they crow or lay and egg.

Okay. Thanks for the input.
