    any guesses on 8 week old silkie before DNA results come back this week?

    Someone recently said he was Columbian. I'd never heard of it in silkies but when I googled he does seem to look the same. What attributes make a columbian silkie and would you say this information is correct.

    frizzle mottled pekin. any help with sexing?

    I have two mottled frizzle pekins approaching 4 weeks. I had read slow feathering in pekins is more likely male, chick 1 was the slowest of all the pekins to feather. Can anyone give constructive advice if this is correct? Anyone shed any light as to their sex?

    What sort of comb is this?

    I believe it's a cross between a Poland and a pekin. Did not have a vaulted skull. My other polish never had a comb and this is different to my pekin comb. was already pretty big when hatched, now almost 4 weeks.
