Thank you so much for your input and the photos! I just don’t see too much of a difference between the champagne silkie and the black silkie! They are around the same size, they fight each other frequently, while the pure white one is definitely smaller and much more docile. I was just really...

Thank you so much! The champagne one is a little feisty so I’m super on the fence about it, but fingers crossed we end up with a pullet and there’s one more we can keep!

@LadiesAndJane I'd love to get your opinion!! :)💛

I will for sure! Thank you for your opinion! This one is definitely the most timid and smaller than the champagne and black as well.

@JedJackson Here is a more clear photo of the all white silkie! You are the best!

@Lovely Lettie For some reason they took forever to upload! They are there now :)

I know silkies are hard…however, the breeder is helping us out next week with rehoming some of our cockerels as we are unfortunately looking at 4 of our 7 chickens being male so far. So, I’m hoping to get opinions on the remaining 3 (all silkies) we haven’t been able to nail down. They are...

Thank you! I find this really reassuring. They were pretty brutal, to the point where I was pretty scared for the roosters, but this definitely gives me hope. I am bummed about how many roosters we ended up with, so I would love to be able to keep one. We’ll definitely give it a shot.

I attached some better comb photos below. And now I’m battling the realization that I most likely have 2 cockerels and one pullet within the silkies…:( what do you think?

That’s the one my partner wants to keep. He is huge! But so far our 8 month old hens are not being very nice to any of the roosters at all, so I’m just not sure if we’re going to be able to keep one!

I’m not sure if it would be better to start a new thread for just the silkies…but I’m back with some better photos of their combs. Thanks in advance!

Thank you! I really love the Brahma so I was crossing my fingers she was female!

Thank you so much! I will get better photos of their combs ASAP and share

Hi. We have five 11-14 week old chickens in question. I’m really hoping to be able to keep at least a few but it’s seeming like many of them are turning out to be cockerels… These are the chickens I’d like to get opinions on: 1. Brahma 2. Smaller white silkie 3. Black silkie. Second white...

Thank goodness my Brahma is definitely a hen! Haha
