    Thank you for the information. I'll be reading as much as possible. Do you mind elaborating on your statement about being cautious because they are silkies?

    Hi. I'm new to raising chickens and have found this site to be a wealth of knowledge. I have 10 chicks now. We purchased 8 pullets and they are about 11-12 wks old. Now that they are getting older we are trying to determine if any of them are cockerels...so far we have a couple that show signs...
