Someone wants to sell me these 14 week old show girls. They are not sexed but not cheap. I am not allowed to keep a roo so I really don’t want both to end up boys. What do you think?
I didn’t pay more than a coffee would cost me so that’s ok I guess, I won’t be breeding it anyway. I do have pictures of its parent, maybe there’s a mix further back? But you are saying there is still hope for female then?😃
first pic is my chick and mom, second dad.
I know silkies are hard to sex, but this one is my only show girl. It’s five weeks old and starting to get red, isn’t it? Is this a roo, or is there still a chance?
So, these four babies are seven weeks now. One has clearly developed this week and I guess that one is a rooster, but there is still hope for some hens right? I’m especially hopeful about the first one here!
So here comes an update. My four babies are 6 weeks now. I think I can feel tiny horns on the first and last one, with a bit more withe in their crest. I really hope the other two are hens. Please be hens😅
Thanks, it could be a tiny wattle, or just skin. It’s really hot here right now and they get very upset when I handle them. I can’t see wattles or anything but light pink when I just sit next to them. One might be developing saddle feathers 🤔
