    Is there a way to sex partridge Silkie chicks based on their stripes?

    I've just hatched out a bunch of partridge Silkie Bantams. I'm wondering if there's any way to see a hint of gender in their chipmunk stripes. If there's more brown would it be female? More black male?

    Cute Hen Contest-(Weekly)

    In the last contest I created, I felt that it was not fair to the Silkie roosters because naturally, they were not as "cute" as a Silkie hen would be.

    what type of waterer "nipple" or "trough"?

    I have known people who used both and said the "trough" waterer got dirty easily and the "nipple" waterer was hard to teach the chickens that it was their source of water. Which would you recommend I use for my new waterer?

    When do silkies start to lay after being broody?

    I have a few hens that all went broody at the same time. They have since come out of it, but I am not getting eggs after 2 weeks. I am wondering how long it takes them to start again. Thanks in advance for the feedback!
