I cant believe all my chicks are already 4 weeks old. I would really like to know what breed my little black one is if anyone knows. I am also wondering if my banty RIR's are 1 girl and 1 boy, do you think it is a bit early to tell?
My unknown black one!
Boy? Girl??

Couldn't help with the sexing at this age, but I would suggest the black one is some sort of silkie cross, hence the dark skin and beak, as well as the crest, but the straight feathers suggest the cross. Have a look, and you may well find it has 5 toes on each foot, that would be from the silkie.
