    Thank you for your time in helping me. Here are the lavender chooks again if this is any clearer. I can’t keep cockerels so I would love to be as sure as I can be. Thanks again

I can hear someone attempting to crow and I have my suspicions but I haven’t seen him actually crow he stopped by the time I got down to the coop.

    Sexing silkies

    Thank you for the info! The other 2 look like they have dark blue very small comb. I haven’t heard of serama, I will check it out now. So far it seems we are slightly more limited for breeds in NZ than other places or perhaps just in my searches for fertile eggs. I have a brown leghorn, 2...

    Sexing silkies

    Sexing silkies

    Hello everyone, I have been told I might have some cockerel sounds coming from my young silkies. We have 3 chicks and they are about 2 months old, maybe more. I think my frazzled silkie might be a roo but it is so gorgeous (aren’t they all) that I don’t want to let it go if I’m wrong. We...

    Hello from NZ!

    Thank you for sharing that Nordic Chick! I do hope she is a girl, we have named her and she is only our second bird. Mama hen is already broody again though so I have given her some fertile silver campine and leghorn eggs and am patiently awaiting some more little fluffy bums in a few weeks!
