    What breed are these babies?

    Hello my friend has just got 3 2 week old chicks, no idea on breed or sex and I was just wondering if anyone could help out. They've also been told heat lamps are not required if they keep them indoors but I'm unsure as thought they had to be under lamps until 6weeks old? [/IMG]

    What breed are these babies?

    I got 2 baby chicks they are both 6 weeks old and away from heat. I didn't ask what breeds they are though as I just let my little girl pick them. I've been assured they're both girls. Anyone got any ideas?

    Silkie sex??

    Hi I'm going to see two silkies today with a view of buying. Pics aren't great but any clues on the sex? The farm think they are both hens? I'm pretty sure the white is a hen from the pic but unsure about the splash as its younger. Thanks in advance
