    Male cream legbar and orange silkie parents. Can the chicks be sexed early?

    Yeah, I might have no choice but to keep them if they are rooster as like u said they dont really seem to go at a young age. I made the mistake of holding them back for a customer and they cancelled and cancelled and now it looks like i wont be able to sell as they could be rooster 😅. You learn...

    I can see small wattles coming through on the pale combed chick. Im not sure if i should just rehome them as cockerels or grow them and rehome as a potential pair of 1 is a hen

    Male cream legbar and orange silkie parents. Can the chicks be sexed early?

    Hi, ive got 2 5 week old silkie x legbar chicks. Is there anyway of sexing them? Both of their comvs look pretty big. 1 is pale and the other is starting to look red. Ive read that they arent really sexable until around 12 weeks. Is there any major giveaways with the chicks or is nothing...

    This sounds about right because thats what it feels like when I touch the wings. is it hereditary? Im hoping I could possibly get some chicks from him and maybe use one of his chicks to replace him for breeding?

    Hi, Ive looked at the wings but im not really sure what im looking for if im honest. I know the ends of the birds wing do seem to be sticking up words not the feathers but the actual bones if that makes sense. If I spread the wing out it does go out fully and seems to appear normal.

    Hi, thank younfor this. It is very helpful. I did plan on using him for breeding. U gather this is a genetic trait and would be passed down? Its so difficult to get hold of decent splash roosters so i would struggle finding a replacement

    Is this split wing or angel wing silkie is around 14 weeks old

    Hi all, i recently purchased some silkies and the more i look at my rooster the more i worry he has split wing. If you can see from the picture his bottom feathers seem to go over the top and when I feel his wing shape the end part of the wing does point outwards rather than sits smoothly on his...
