What kind of bird is this?

We are going crazy over on FB trying to figure out what kind of chick this is. It was posted as a raven,which it is most definitely NOT. It is also not a crow, starling, grackle, Guam rail, Guillemot tern,duck,swan,goose,etc. Some of us think it is a chicken. What do you bird experts think? Oh,and if you Google it is says it is a raven but it's NOT! It is a precocial bird,as you can tell by the downy feathers,and the bill is WAY different than a raven or crow. So what is it??

Update:

This one has no feathers on it's feet,though.But I think it is a chicken,too.

Update 2:

It is NOT a raven nor a crow,we have already confirmed this with a corvid forum. Also,the bill is completely wrong. Raven and crows are born naked and blind and by the time they can walk they are as large as their parents. So crows and ravens have been eliminated. I'm thinking chicken.

    I don't know that it's a Black Silky Bantum chick:

    but it does look like a baby chicken.

    Silky Bantums make EXCELLENT pets!

    My aunt used to have a flock!

    Its a baby raven (crow)

    It has all the features of a baby raven that you commonly see....the beak, eyes, size and shape....except for the "fur".......couldn't there be more than one type of raven???
