Awesome thank you! That’s two guesses that contradict my guess for A and B, which is helping me keep an open mind about them. We have thankfully found a home already for whichever of them turns out to be a Roo, but I don’t think I’ll be able to part with either of the silkie crosses. I guess...

I realize this is an oldish thread but just want to emphasize this point! you have to dry wet silkies in the colder months if they get wet! Otherwise they can absolutely die. But I’ll add that my two silkies are some of the best foragers in my flock.
