Hi! I have two 18 month old girls with these signs too. I’m in NZ :) Are your girls still laying soft eggs? I feel like I’ve tried everything to boost their vitamins and calcium! Thought they might have egg drop syndrome.

Thanks all! I put some oyster grit (was already mixed with some lime calcium/DE pellets in a dish attached to their run, the chicks have had a few pecks, but not too interested.

Hey all! I have a bit a of a dilemma.. I currently have a 22 week old Silkie pullet in my chick/grower area with two 11 week old Araucana chicks all eating grower pellets, they get along well. I then have my main flock of 8 older girls on layer pellets. In the last week my Silkie has been...

UPDATE: she’s a pullet!! Hooray 😃

He/she seems to be the same as the other two in his coop, they are siblings and the other two are definitely girls. Only difference is he’s a bit bigger in the body than the other two

Seems to be rather divided! I sent off a couple of feathers to get him/her DNA sexed.. will post the results here in the next week!

This is the only one I’m still unsure on! One week I think definitely boy, then the next definite girl! Here’s the sibling who I rehomed today the same age, definitely a boy!

Updated pics from my last thread two weeks ago - are we still thinking boy? Comb hasn’t gotten any bigger, no crowing yet, but still unsure!

Can we have guesses on this 12 week old Silkie? I’m leaning girl just because it’s sibling has much bigger comb ant wattles, and more slicked back hair. But could Be wrong! Tia

haha my first time owning them too! I was worried about the wattles, but they haven’t grown bigger in a few weeks so that’s a good sign 😂

Hey all! Been a couple of weeks since my last post, Last time it was looking like two boys, but I have feelings number 1 is a girl? Poofier hair and much smaller comb and wattles, they are the same age. Opinions? They are almost 10 weeks old :)

Hey again all! So 10 days later form my last post, two paint silkies here born at the same time. Initially most were thinking 2 is a boy, 1 girl or too early to tell. Any ideas? They are roughly the same size, 2 a little bigger maybe! 2 has less hairdo and bigger comb and wattles - also blue ear...

Thanks all! Fingers crossed 🤞 Will post updated pictures in a few weeks!

Hey again.. I have two six week old paint silkies here... Any guesses on gender? I’m thinking 2 is a boy, one maybe a girl? Or maybe both boys! Number 2 has a more pronounced comb and wattles. I know it’s too early, but place your bets! Will update once I know.

Ah yes my bad, was sold to me as a “paint silkie” white with spots of black :)

Yep I’m thinking that too, hoping for two girls then!

Hey all! I have three 5wk old silkie chicks here.. I know it’s early days, but any guesses on boys or girls? The white one is a little bigger than the other two. TIA!

Yes Wyandotte bantams :) that explains their small size!

I just got told they are possibly Wyandotte’s and got mixed up!

Thanks! I was actually just told by the breeder that the 2&3 might be lavender Wyandotte’s o: got mixed up!
