A very warm welcome from another first-time chicken mom! This site is amazing and has helped me tremendously. I’m sure you will find lots of help and answers to many questions here.
We have a lot of varieties. Each of our kids picked their own breed and do did my husband and I. And then we got a few mystery breeds too.
From Frey’s hatchery we bought day old pullets:
Rhode Island reds
Plymouth rock
Azure blue
Colombian rock
from local Kijiji adds we bought
Silkies
Polish...
I purchased 4 silkies from someone on Kijiji. Only one is a silkie though, one appears to be a polish and the other one is a show girl. We thought this might be a sebright but the comb is starting to come in and has us confused.
Thanks. I hope we can keep this one too. I guess once I can figure out how many cockerel we have I will need to decide who to keep and who to give away. At what age can you determine a silkies gender?
