In the Brooder
Hi all! Long time lurker, first time poster! We are experienced chicken folk but are new to bantams. I picked up these two cuties when they were about one week old. I think they are almost a month now.
I believe one may be some sort of Polish Crested and I think it's a roo but would love any comments on this from you all. He/she is very outgoing, not skittish, etc and I've never had a pullet quite like this so I'm not sure. We are allowed to have one rooster so if he/she continues to be somewhat polite we will keep. Now that the feathers are coming in the crest is rather funny looking--a bit like a Q-tip with no cotton.
I have no idea what the other one is and have been scouring the internet for weeks looking for a chick that looks like this but I haven't seen one. The feed store said it was a Silkie but she only has 4 toes and has black curling/crinkly feathers on the tail and wings. Her little tail is quite curly!
PS--they were sunbathing for a moment in the bottom photos..they're not injured.
Thank you for any assistance you can offer!
