    Silkie Gender

    Yep, that's what I thought too. I think only the one with the little puffball on its head is a pullet. 3 cockerels, 1 pullet, even at 8-10 weeks it's pretty obvious.

    Silkie Gender

    I bought 4 Silkies today and my two white ones are constantly chest-bumping one another. Hopefully they're not boys. Can anyone help me sex these?

    They are 8 weeks old what gender do you suppose?

    All girls. My EE pullets look exactly the same.

    Confused about coop bedding/floor material vs run bedding/ground material.

    Thanks for the advice! I'm going to work on that tomorrow.

    Confused about coop bedding/floor material vs run bedding/ground material.

    Is it possible to use both? My coop is at the bottom of a hill, so it gets muddy if I don't use sand. However, I don't like it as much as pine shavings and I have to scoop it pretty much every day. If I keep an inch or two of sand on the bottom layer and use the DLM on top, will it still work...

    You're never 100% sure until they crow or lay an egg. I still think it is a cockerel.

    Chicken Math

    Ok thank you both! I was thinking the girls might get more worn out than the boy . I'm glad my ratio is good.

    Coccidiosis?

    Does this look like coccidiosis? One of my pullets has left 3 of these around the run and it's hard to tell with the sand absorbing it almost immediately. Second question..,,how do I clean out the run/disinfect it?

    Gender of EE?

    Thank you! Just wanted to double check. The comb isn't as large as my other EE who's younger, but it's much redder than the girls.

    Michael is correct. I have a Maran cockerel with large comb and wattles, 12 weeks old, no saddle feathers just yet, but is already crowing. He's molting now so his big boy feathers will be coming in very soon!

    Gender of EE?

    Before I give him away, can someone please verify that this is a cockerel? I'm kind of second guessing myself, but the comb says cockerel to me.

    Confused about coop bedding/floor material vs run bedding/ground material.

    I forgot to mention that if you use leaves, it will make an awesome compost, plus give the chickens bugs and stuff to scratch at (which turns the pile for you!).
