There is a lot of controversy about where or not you can sex silkies. Some people believe that buying sexed silkies on mypetchicken.com is a scam and a waste of money. In September I decided to take a gamble and purchase 5 female silkie chicks, and 2 female rhode island red chicks. They were hatched on September 7th, and I got seven happy, healthy chicks on September 8. Six months later they all made it and I am happy I ordered them. I will say that my order was not cheap at all, and I will not always get my silkies from there because of the lack of availability and the price ($13.17 per female chick!!!), but I love my girls!
THE RESULTS!!!
Silkies: 4 out of 5 were hens!
Call it good luck if you want, but I don't think it's a scam. I have never got a batch of silkies with this good of odds.
Rhode Island Reds: both of them are hens and are laying eggs!
I did expect them to be hens because they are standards.
**If you have ever bought sexed bantams I would love to hear about it. Also your opinions on sexing bantams**
