Started a new flock this spring and my 5th child is now almost ten and turning into a fantastic little chicken farmer. We have a cochin bantam...

    Gender help on 7-9wk old d'uccles and silkies

    I wish I had a better photo of #9. I am leaning towards hen with that one, but time will tell. It actually looks a lot like #8 in size and shape and everything and #8 is pretty clearly a hen. Lately #9 has gotten a bit of a taller comb, but I've seen photos of some d'uccle hens with taller...

    The white one is my youngest. About 7 weeks. The mille fleurs are about that, too. The rest of the silkies are close to 9 weeks or so.

    I have 10 of these babies and I'm hoping to know sooner than later which ones I can keep. I get to keep all hens and might get to convince my hubby to keep a rooster, but not sure on that one. ;-) I'd like one roo of each breed if they can get along. :) Can't get pics to post. Will try on a...

    Silkie thread!

    I have never had silkies before, but got some locally and am not sure what ages they are. The youngest, a white silkie, is probably about three weeks old. The others are at least a bit older. Any guesses of age and sex? (You may also see my mille fleur d'uccles in the background) My white...
