Thanks, that is what I thought, just thought this would be the place to check! I'm really happy with their coloring.

This bantam Silkie behaviorally I think is a hen. They are the lowest in the pecking order of a four chicken mixed flock (two Easter eggers, two Silkies) they are skittish, and don’t try to get to higher places like the other Silkie. Usually they walk more squat than the other Silkie (like...

Hey there! Just wanted to see what breed people think these girls are. I was told they were Ameraucanas, but when I picked them up the lady said they were Easter Eggers. Are they either, or do they look like something else? The tan/white one has more of a beard, and the blue/gray one has puffy...

Hey all! I’ve heard Silkies are super hard to sex. Wanted to see if there were any guesses on this one? Let me know if you need additional photos!

Thanks!! Yeah I came to terms with it the next day that I had two baby roos.

Thoughts on this blue cutie? Pullet, roo, or wait and see?

Sorry the link didn't seem to work! I created a Flickr account just to upload this video, lol. Yeah, that is what I've been thinking. Is it because of their posture, comb, or coloration that you've determined they are male?

My chick is 7 weeks old. Started making this strangled squawk yesterday. I thought chickens didn’t crow until 4-5 months? Is this my absolute confirmation this is a rooster? (I’ve suspected this one since they were 2 weeks old, but these are my first chicks, so didn’t want to jump to...

Updates? I have a very similar Easter Egger and would love to hear the results!

Oh wow! That’s super interesting! I’ll try to look that up! Thanks.

This is my first set of chicks ever! So learning a lot. Their comb is making me a bit nervous, but not sure if this could be in line with a six week old chick. They are a bit more aggressive than the other chicks, but maybe just an assertive hen?

I’m pretty sure this 6 week old chick is a roo. I’ve noticed this little puff of feathers at the end of their tail that the other chicks don’t have. Does this have a name? Or a way to describe it?

This little chick is developing some sort of comb on their head. They are five weeks old. People talk about the comb being pinkish and turning red. Is that what that looks like? Is this likely a roo, or could it still grow up to be a hen?

Thanks! I’ll keep a lookout! The blue one walks way more squat than the black one, but as you said, they are still pretty young!

Here’s few more!

I think I have three pullets and three roos between my six birds. Thoughts? Any guesses on adult colors also welcome! #1 Roo? #2 Roo? #3 Pullet? #4 Pullet? #5 Roo? (Black Silkie) #6 Pullet? (Blue Silkie) Please let me know your guesses for 1-6!! (And if you want additional pictures of...

Haha, good to know. Yours grew up handsomely! My chicks are unsexed because they are bantams, so I figure I have at least one rooster out of the four, maybe two. Just hoping not 4/4. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Thanks! I’ll keep an eye on them. They are eating, drinking, and running around well with the other chicks, so hopefully just a late bloomer. I’ll post back on this thread in a few weeks.

My Easter Eggers are almost 2 weeks old. One seems much smaller than everybody else, specifically their wings are much smaller. They seem to be eating a ton, is this just slow feathering? Do I not have to worry about size differences until they are a few weeks older?

Thanks! Yeah I’ll go down and see the volumes in person. Maybe I’ll go for the 20 lb metal feeder.
