My two 13 week old silkies The Blue Splash is Gandalf & The dark Blue is Mari. Any guesses on sex? I am torn on Gandalf but I'm pretty sure Mari is a Pullet.
This is Pippin, a Silkie Mix
This is Gandalf the gray (thinking a splash)
This one is Mari
Meri, Gandalf the gray & Pippin all together. 3 weeks old. All have the same comb size and are pretty much the same size over all.
