Hello all!
I was wondering if my silkies are too young to sex yet . I think I have one roo and 3 hens but im not sure . They are 10 weeks old Thursday :)
hello all . I posted a couple of weeks ago and didn't get anywhere so I'm appealing again lol
They are 10 weeks old now and I'm sure at least one has started to crow
I'm worried they are all boys as we hatched them ourselves
Any help would be amazing.
Thanks

hello! So these beauts are 7 weeks old now . Any guessing on genders ? They look rather funny to me. Almost polish like with silkie feet (2 have 5 toes)
I hope it's ok to post . I found a lovely chap on a page who made coops so I asked him to make mine for me ! I'm really over the moon with it . I have been introducing the chicks to it . I know it's not the most fancy but I really like it . Its 9mts squared for the run and the coop is 4mt...
I'm not 100% to be honest as I got the eggs online and hatched them myself ! They were labelled at silkie/polish/frizzle
All three look very very different !
2/3 have 5 toes as well
Ah thank you ! Overly worried here Haha!
Their brooder is 4ft by 4ft. There are 3 in there. And I'm using a heat plate . They come out 3 times a day for half an hour at the moment
Hello! So this might sound like a ridiculous question but all three of my silkie/polish mix chicks are starting to really fight eachother ?
Is this a male thing to do ?
I'm not sure on sex of any of them yet because I believe it's too soon to tell
Hello! Well these little beauties are a whole week old now ! Heres some new pics. I'm still not sure how these guys will turn out as they are a mix between silkie/frizzle/polish haha !
Pic 1 and 2 are FlipFlop
Pic 3 and 4 are Bubble
Pic 5 and 6 are Scramble
Enjoy! X
Just an update on the fluffs!
All three doing very well and very inquisitive! Quite happy to eat from my hands and enjoying a mirror I put in there Haha!
Hello!
So I have 0 confidence tools or talent to build my own coop and run currently. I will be making some next year when the chicks are a year old .
They are currently only a couple of days but I still dont have a coop!
I have been looking online to buy a flat pack coop and run to last a...
So because our blue egg sadly died before hatching I have said to the kids we can try again with blue eggs Haha! God help me 😂😂🤦♀️
They are in love with the chicks already and my eldest had even made them a sock toy to keep them company. I have a feeling they are going to he very spoilt
