Hello! So I have an interesting self-brought-on chicken dilemma and could use some opinions on!
The backstory: I purchased 5 chicks (notably 2 of those being silkies) all with a female guarantee, but of course 2 ended up being Roos that unfortunately I had to re-home. That leaves my current...
Hello!
I have posted about my white silkie, Lily, before and I think s/he’s definitely looking like a Lilbert instead (😭) but wanted second opinions on if he’s actually a roo or not
Additionally, I feel more confident that my black silkie, Kiwi, is female because she has no comb, but she has...
man i did not get lucky with this batch of chicks! they were from an online hatchery with a sexing guarantee and all were supposed to be female, but its looking like 2 out of the 5 are boys (this silkie and an easter egger) 😅
thank you guys for sharing your knowledge, i wanna hold out hope for...

Hello! I have a lovely small flock of 5 supposedly all hens that are almost 7 weeks old, but I'm getting a little nervous that my EE, Goose might be a rooster...mainly because of how much larger they are getting, she's the only one getting a touch of pink to her comb/has more than one ridge, and...
Oh awesome! Super happy to hear that and get a second opinion because I have been super unsure, thanks so much for answering I really appreciate it! :)
Hello! I am a first time bird owner with chicks, and overall i am having a wonderful time and all my chicks seem healthy, happy and are growing like weeds!
however, i am a little concerned about my white silkie. I feel compared to the other chicks her walk feels a little unusual but it's hard...
