My silkies are about 8 weeks old now and I definitely didn't realize how hard it be to wait to figure out if I have boys or girls 😂 When I got my silkies I also got 4 EE's (which I lucked out and all appear to be girls) and two productions red hens so as of now, I have all pullet. I'm telling my...
I was just telling my husband today ours arent even 7 weeks and the difference from when we got them at a few days old till now is insane. Within 6 weeks they are huge and look like completely different birds.
I also have a all black Easter egger the same age but with hardly any comb at all and no signs of wattles I am just assuming this little is a pullet so far
I figured 2 is a pullet since I see. No wattles and not much of a comb yet. But 2 is my I'm really trying to love you but your being a butthead bird 🤣 definitely becoming the biggest and the bossiest at this point
Okay so here are three of my Easter eggers they are alittle over 6 weeks now looking for guesses on if I have pullets or cockerels. I marked each one with numbers. Number 2 is my wild bird so pictures aren't the greatest I will attempt for more later if needed, seems to be alittle calmer in...
Thanks for the info. I'm slowly learning all about these cuties. They are full of personality already and I have no roosters yet so even if "big hairdo" is a cockerel it will be staying. I have 5 they all look the same except the one with the bigger crest. I look to see if I can see any waddles...
Thank you. First time having silkies and I was like this is the only one with this huge crest and my favorite I'm just positive that means it will be a cockerel. At least I don't have to worry about that being a early indication.
So quick question does how much "hairdo" they have going on indicate gender of the bird because this one is in his/her own league compared to the others 🤣
In my search of some more chicks to add to my flock a man said he has this chick to rehome according to him it's a lavender breed and a pullet? I have no other pictures except this one it's the only one he texted to me l. Trying to see if someone can give me the basic info on this chick such as...
Awe Moonpie is adorable. I have 5 white silkies who are 6 weeks old who look just like yours they are my little cotton balls. I would love to have a tiny fluffy one like Moonpie too though, just so cute
Since this thread is about Easter eggers thought I see what everyone's thoughts are on this chick I have it's the only one I'm worried about at the moment about 5 weeks old. comb is just growing faster and alittle redder then the others so far. I know still alittle young so hopefully I'm just...
