That is crazy!!! I have a boy named Omelet and one named Jigglypuff!!!! Small world! My jigglypuff is also a silkie but my omelet isn't. He is a naked neck :)
You might try lowering your humidity. I find that I get the best hatch rates if I keep the humidity in the mid-thirties for days 1-18 and increase to 65 for the last 3 days.
Good luck!!!!!!
Hmmm, might be a boy. I only say that because it looks like the comb is bubbling up a bit and may have some reddish purplish undertones??? It's really hard to tell but it looks an awful lot like how my nonbearded boy looked around that age. But, like I said, I don't have any nonbearded females...
How old? I only have one non-bearded and its a boy. Compared to him she looks more feminine to me but i dont know what age unbearded females get wattles. Maybe someone else will be more help. I dont see any other features that look rooish. Age and a comb closeup might help.
Yes, same bird, lol. He looks so different than the other males from the same hatch. The only thing i can think of is that he is my only male that has a vaulted skull. I have two 3 week old silkies so i will probably be back to play the guessing game with you guys again!
I just wanted to post an update. We still haven't seen a crow or egg, but he is very clearly not going to be laying any eggs!
Thanks to everyone for your input!!!!
My pullet is around 20 weeks and i will be hatching her eggs eventually; she hasnt started laying yet and she will probably take her time. I'm in twin falls but work in hagerman. I could let you know when i have any available in the future?
Its soooo hard to get silkies around here so all of...
Oooohh 5-6/day! I cant wait! My silkie will start laying in the next few months but i'll probably just hatch those eggs! I have various chicks ranging from 1 day to 8 weeks so I'll get there eventually! I'm especially excited for my easter egger and olive eggers to start laying!!!
