Went to my local BYC swap/meet up and traded my small st. run black 4 week old silkie for this pretty little "hopefull" girl.

I really think it's a pullet by the way it acts/talks...lol It was traded to me as a pullet "said it was 4.5 month's old" when i got her.

What do you all think of her quality!!!?? I think she is VERY pretty and have hopes of breeding her.
 
My guess is pullet as well. She looks very good! I would use her as a breeder as long as she has 5 toes and good spacing. Comb, feathering and color look good. One way to tell if she is a pullet is when you go to pick her up does she squat down like if a rooster was going to breed her? If she squats down and puts her butt up then its a she. Good luck!

she does have 5 toes and good spaceing!!! But one toe is bothering me due to how short/stubby it is. I have pictures of it if i you would like to evaluate?

lol hi heather!!!! She is doing better now, she was very shy at first and didn't drink/eat much. She is doing quite better now and establishes pecking order when my smaller bantams are free rangeing around her lol! I forgot to ask you but what was her main diet when you had her?? Like brand names and such? Hows my little black poof ball doing?? I sure do miss it.

We always like to see pics. Although I am no expert, I will tell you my opinion. I am sure you will get others to chime in as well. the momma is very pretty. She seems so BIG in that picture. Or is that just a real small hand?

Oh sorry. I guess I should have double read that.

Ok... so that explains the tiny hand
