How much does that cost?

It is 15 dollar per chick, but I got a buy one, get one free offer, so it only cost me 30. They are only 5 weeks now and I can't wait any longer. I am hoping for two girls

Nice! Where did you have it done? I'm sure I have roos in my lot of ten, but I have a couple I really want to be females!

Thanks! I might have to pluck some feathers from the one that is shaping up to be my favorite and see if she is a she or not!

I am glad I kept the eggs and knew who hatched from what... I don't think I could pluck feather or make their nail bleed. Let me know what you decide to do

I'd rather take a couple chest feathers than hack off into the quick. poor puffies.

I've not gotten too close to any of mine because I worry if I do they'll turn out to be male, and I can't have roos.

Mypetchicken.com does sexed bantams. $12 for female silkies but worth it IMO

I wanna say roo but it won't let me get a close up of the pic so I'm not 100%
