This is en excellent concept. I was thinking of the same thing yesterday as I was at the feed store, trying to sort through Internet pictures on my iPhone to affirm breed and gender of the chicks I was looking at. I bought a WC Black Polish and a Nankin.

I'm starting a chick-to-adult photo album for both of my new birds to contribute to the project.

I was sure these 8 Week Old chicks were looking like hens but now I wonder. They are silkies can anyone tell me if the black one and silver one are.

 

[flowerchicks]

Sorry, I'm gonna have to guess cockerel on both. The white ones a hen, though

I'm very excited about this forum because in the case of Silkie bantams it hard to sex them . Most of the time you just have to wait until they are about 4 months and either crow or lay the egg. Plus it will be interesting to see the progess of all the babies into adults. Thanks for a great place to chill out and watch
