May 4, 2016 Thread starter #3 Shadowsfate In the Brooder 6 Years Apr 5, 2013 88 2 41 Thanks! I thought that might be the case. Is the color/size of the comb on the OEGB definitely indicating a male? Last edited: May 4, 2016

Click to expand... They are WAY too young to sex accurately, especially the silkie. You, generally, can't determine a silkie's gender until it is at least 12 weeks old. Last edited: May 4, 2016

May 28, 2016 Thread starter #8 Shadowsfate In the Brooder 6 Years Apr 5, 2013 88 2 41 Anyone want to look at the D'Anver again? Here she/he is a few weeks later. She has some kind of splotchy color growing in, does this mean she might be a he or is it just because she is hachory quality?
