I got these babies during the week. 2 older ones are a week old Orpington and dark one is a couple day old Silkie chick. I am going by what the lady breeder told me.
I thought Silkies have 5 toes ? This one has 4 with fuzz and are orange looking.
im new to this and confused about this.

Hi Hootyup, and welcome to the Forum. I haven’t got much experience with Silkies, but I’m sure yours will be lovely, however many toes he/she has!
What brooder setup have you got? I wonder if the fact that the Orps are so much bigger breed than the Silkie, plus being nearly a week older, might make things a bit tricky for you? Is the Silkie full size or bantam?
Excellent photos, by the way. Would you like to post some pics for us? Looking forward to hearing more about your babies!
