    Sizzle Roo?

    So I got my daughter a sizzle and a Silkie for her birthday and I'm afraid they are both Roos. Here's the sizzle. Hatched 3/12. Thoughts?

    Hi! From Charlotte, NC

    What kind do you have? I was hoping to have the coop done for the big girls today... But alas, they are gunna be in the spare bedroom (in a puppy playpen!) for another week. The little ones have been in a 25 gallon pasture water tank until yesterday when I put them together with the Comets.
