Thank you - I'm learning more about the amazing world of chickens daily!
I'm off to let the girls ( and boys!) loose on the compost pile and watch their delight.
Thank you - I really hope you're correct. I'll get the two boys re-homed asap and I might hold onto the lighter one a little longer. I really thought it was/is a girl from the behaviour shown. Fingers crossed.
Oh no...three boys:(! Yes, that has me stumped completely - I can only guess that maybe Dad isn't a purebred Silkie and I have a strange comb as a result.
These three gorgeous teenagers are approximately 13 weeks old. I suspect the two darker ones are roosters and the lighter one is a pullet (I managed to get a side & head photo of her/him). However the heads on the darker ones are developing very differently...so now I'm a bit stumped. Any...
