    Silkie help!

    I would love to have a rooster, but we aren't supposed to have any chickens where I live. But we have hens anyway. I guess you could say we are underground chicken owners :lau

    HELP ! Need hatching advise

    This could be the yolk sack that wasn't fully absorbed in the shell like it should have been. If it is the yolk sack, I think it should dry up or be absorbed by the morning. Please keep us updated!

    Also do Lincoln's features (larger wattles and comb) make him more likely to be a rooster, or is sexing silkies mainly based on streamer development? Thanks so much!

    4.5 Month Old Silkie Sexing

    Hi, thank you so much! Could you tell by the pictures of purple that they were developing streamers? I am new to the whole silkie games and it looked to me that she/he was starting to maybe develop some small streamers, but not really sure as they weren't too evident.

    Silkie help!

    I completely understand. In my opinion they both look like hens, but silkies are very tricky to sex. It stinks because they are my favorite breed, but I can only have hens.

    I am not very experienced with sexing and currently need help sexing my own silkies, but I have done tons of research on silkie sexing and I see no signs in either of your silkies that they are a rooster. I would says they are hens. How old are they?
