Thanks for the replies. Good news.
Yes I think they all had the same mother (a white silkie) but the others were fathered by a bantam cross. Beautiful mixed bird
Really? Wow. That's good news. Thanks for the reply. Btw, how can you tell they are silkie crosses? (which I think they are based on the vague story I got when I got the eggs)
Can anyone sex these? I'm a bit of a novice at this.
The reddish looking bantam is about 20 weeks and the silkie and grey one both about 18. No crowing or eggs yet.
Thanks.
Ah! Thanks for enlightening me! I had never noticed that silkies had 5 toes. Feeling a bit ignorant now :)
Anyway, no. it doesn't. I think it MUST be a welsummer then. Thanks.
I was given a couple of fertile eggs (silkie-size eggs) and was a bit surprised one actually hatched. Does anyone know what this is?
Sorry the photos are not great
