    6 Week Polish Chicks

    No worries! I know how hard it is to wait, but I really didn’t know until 12 week mark. I think their combs started reddening up around the 8 week mark though, so keep an eye out for that.

    6 Week Polish Chicks

    No problem! How old are yours now? I will say up until 12 weeks if was pretty tricky to tell. If there is any pink around the comb/wattles area too, that can be a sign of a rooster. I ended up with a similar aged pulled and she has no sign of pink on her. I attached a picture of the crest...

    6 Week Polish Chicks

    Hey! They both turned out to be roosters. When they turned 12 weeks their male feathers started to come in. Specifically pointy, darker feathers coming in their crests. They also had some shiny, darker feathers on their shoulders too

    9 Week Polish Chick Hen vs Roo

    I have two buff laced polish. Both are now 9 weeks old. I know they are tricky to sex this young, but wanted to post and see what people’s opinions were? There is a darker one and a lighter coloured one. Photos of them together, then two of the lighter and two of the darker.

    Splash Silkie Chick?

    Lol! 50% chance of getting it right 😂 Thanks, good to know about the colour! Interested to see how (s)he matures and watch her/his colour come in. Thanks for your help!

    Splash Silkie Chick?

    Hey all! I have a 6 week silkie chick that I was told was a splash. (S)he has remained the same colour since I got him/her at 3 days old. When do silkie chicks start to show their splash colour? Any thoughts on gender? I know it’s still young and 50/50 at this point, but wanted to see others...

    6 Week Polish Chicks

    Thanks! I know they are tricky ones, but figured I would post and see what the consensus was. I can’t see any obvious tell tale signs either way, so just remaining hopeful I end up with at least one pullet.

    Silkie Colour/Gender inquiry?

    Thanks! I am going to remain hopeful my intuition is wrong as I can’t have any Roo’s in my area. I was told (s)he was a splash, but have seen no colouring coming in that shows that. Maybe it will come in later?

    Silkie Colour/Gender inquiry?

    Any thoughts on the gender of this one? It’s the same age as the other partridge but its crest is taking its time coming in. I go back and forth if it’s a roo or pullet. Instinct tells me it’s a he though.

    Thank you!!

    Silkie Colour/Gender inquiry?

    Oh thank you! Yes, she (or he) came from a breeder that does show lines. I specifically asked for a silver partridge because I think they’re a really nice colour at maturity, but really interested to see what she turns into. Thanks for the photo, gives me a better idea of what to expect 😊
