    Hi! Older post sorry but I'm curious to know if this went away? Got bigger or caused any issues? I have a 12 week old orpington pullet with the same looking growth, occasionally scabs from bumping it but no other apparent issues!

    Thanks all! I put some oyster grit (was already mixed with some lime calcium/DE pellets in a dish attached to their run, the chicks have had a few pecks, but not too interested.

    Moving Pullet From Growers to Layer Feed

    Hey all! I have a bit a of a dilemma.. I currently have a 22 week old Silkie pullet in my chick/grower area with two 11 week old Araucana chicks all eating grower pellets, they get along well. I then have my main flock of 8 older girls on layer pellets. In the last week my Silkie has been...

    He/she seems to be the same as the other two in his coop, they are siblings and the other two are definitely girls. Only difference is he’s a bit bigger in the body than the other two

    Updated pics - Silkie boy or girl? 14 weeks!

    This is the only one I’m still unsure on! One week I think definitely boy, then the next definite girl! Here’s the sibling who I rehomed today the same age, definitely a boy!

    Silkie, 12 weeks old! Boy or girl?

    Can we have guesses on this 12 week old Silkie? I’m leaning girl just because it’s sibling has much bigger comb ant wattles, and more slicked back hair. But could Be wrong! Tia

    Update 3: Paint Silkie’s, boy or girl?

    Update 3: Paint Silkie’s, boy or girl?

    Hey all! Been a couple of weeks since my last post, Last time it was looking like two boys, but I have feelings number 1 is a girl? Poofier hair and much smaller comb and wattles, they are the same age. Opinions? They are almost 10 weeks old :)
