breed and sex?

Not sure on the breed. Looks like a Silkie cross. Does it have 5 toes? Definitely a cockerel.

Agree with @wishing4wings definitely a cockerel. As for the breed, I'm thinking it might be a silkie cross or a Bantam Cochin crossed with a silkie or something. Not too sure.

I have a silkie like that. I call her "niney"

Agreed, mixed breed cockerel with a good dose of Silkie in there. The parents were likely barnyard mixes too (note the single comb) so no telling what all might be in there.

Mixed Silkie cockerel, cute looking fellow!

Yea the egg came from a barnYard fire. The neighbor lost everything, all chickens except for this egg we were able to hatch.

Oh, that's unusual. But completely fits with half Silkie, doesn't it?

Your poor neighbors, how terrible. Glad you could save one for them.
