    Thanks chuckachucka! From what I hear silkies are a difficult breed to determine gender. We shall wait and see....

    Where are you at? I'm in Antioch. We have a 8 week BO that we ordered from a hatchery. We ordered a pullet but as she grows she is looking to be a rooster. So far no crowing to confirm but time will tell.

    To late, my daughter already loves him/her. We technically are not supposed to have any roosters in our city. That said our neighbors have 5. We are going to keep him/her until we have a definite crow. If he becomes a nuance we just found out our local feed store will take roosters and...

    Thank you to all for responding to helping us figure out who is what breed. Fingers crossed we won't have any crowing (not allowed roosters in our city). We are looking forward to continuing to watch them all grow and our future fresh eggs!

    We have 11 chickens all together. Still unsure how many are girls vs boys. So far this is the only one that has me thinking boy but we also have 2 silkies that could potentially be since they were a straight run. We are not allowed roosters in our city so we are not too sure what our plan is if...

    1st Time Chicken Family - 8 wk girls or boys?

    Yes, Violets feet are more yellow while Dixie's are darker (not solid black but more gray). They look very much alike so I was thinking that maybe our bonus bird was an extra barred rock. However, they both look like girls so far and I assumed our bonus would be a rooster. Fingers crossed I was...

    1st Time Chicken Family - 8 wk girls or boys?

    Hedwig is our most friendly of the bunch. My 7 yr old loves her and is constantly bringing her in the house to sit to watch tv and get hugs and cuddles.

    1st Time Chicken Family - 8 wk girls or boys?

    So we are just loving our cute little flock and having such a great time with our chicks. We ordered 10 pullets from a hachery and received 11. My guess is our bonus chicken is a rooster but so far I'm not sure who is a hen vs. a rooster. Also I ordered one barred rock and one cuckoo maran but I...

    I have 2 buff silkies that are 8 weeks old. I was wondering if any of you more experienced chicken folks could help me guess what we got.

    I have an 8 week BO that I ordered from a hatchery. She is supposed to be a hen but I'm worried that she is a rooster. What does everyone else with more chicken experience think? (She/he is not bossy to any of the other chickens. I'm only basing my suspension on her comb & waddles. She is about...

    The comb is so big so that has me thinking boy too. I'm hoping it's just a fast growing girl but I think I'm just in denial. (We can't have roosters in our city). We ordered 10 hens from a hatchery and are crossing our fingers for no roosters but I know it's not 100%. Only time will tell....egg...

    We are a first time chicken family and enjoying the experience so far. I was wondering if any of you BO experts could help me determine if she is a he/she. Gigi is 5 weeks old.
