the first 2 are my hatched (I think it's a boy and girl)
The next 2 I think are girls because they walk squared down they are the ones I bought.
The last one is about 3 to 4 weeks and is the one I bought. I think it might be a girl but I'm not sure.
Ok so I know you can't know for sure if silkie chicks are boys or girls but I just want some ideas. So I had two of my own chicks and they are two weeks old but they are quite larger from the 2-week olds that I bought. The ones that I bought are silkie frizzles and the ones I had just are just...
They are doing great. They are running around and eating and drinking a lot. One is a boy and one is a girl. Their wing feathers are getting way bigger also.
it's the toe in the very back of the foot. I'm just concerned that when it grows the nail will be facing up towards it's bottom and will make sitting difficult.
So my new silkies were born today and I just noticed that one of the chicks back row is completely bent backwards (up toward it's bottom) is there any way to fix this and will it cause problems in the future. I think he's a rooster by the way.
Update. 2 healthy baby chicks hatched unassisted. A grey *boy and a white*girl. I'm pretty sure those are the genders, because the grey one seems to have a long neck and is standing more upright and has a big (fluffy tall like head)than the girl and is a bit bigger. The other one is smaller...
