Quote: In my experience they all have different personalities so some will be more willing to be handled than others. Some will come up to me and hurdle around my feet or snuggle under my rear when I squat down. I don't have any that fight over being handled but Ive had some young adults...

Quote: Looks like a good plan. Mine have roughly the same amount of coop space but have extra run space to compensate. What size run are you planning?

Quote: I'm sorry for your loss.

Quote: Apollo or Artemis comes to mind Hope you aren't in the path of those terrible fires, Colie. Praying for Texas here.... No I'm not thank goodness! So many fires this year!!

Quote: Over time being around/ seeing lots of pictures I think it's easier to guess the sex of a silkie before they crow and definitely before they lay an egg. How old are you silkie babies? Look for streamers also look at crest shape. In general I notice the swept back more triangular shape...

Quote: I wish I had. I took Fancy Pants and she got 4th place but the black pullet got 2nd. And because she weighed a little less than the one he gave 1st to. He actually went back and compared mine and the other one's weight. If my black pullet had out weighed the other she would have gotten...

Quote: Ohh wow that's a buff beauty!!

Quote: Pretty but I'm pretty sure that isn't a splash color wise. I can't really say what color I think it is though... I'm curious do you know the breeding the chick came from?

Quote: I already sent him an email asking him to change it back. I probbly won't hear back from him tonight. But if it's too late then oh well. I want it to be a pullet anyway. But I don't want to look like an idiot at the show. I've seen plenty of people now know the sex of a silkie till it...

Quote: Love them all!

Quote: I'm not looking!! I'll just want a puppy more if I do!!!

Quote: Her color is beautiful! My guess is she's too light but really that's a guess. Is the picture washed out in your opinion? Perhaps she looks darker in person?

Quote: From the body type I'd guess it's a cockerel but it's soo hard to tell. In the first picture I can't see the comb well but I have to ask, does the chick have a walnut comb? It kinda looks like a straight ridge to me but that might just be blamed on the picture and my looking at it funny....

Quote: IMHO that is a silkie not a mix. It does appear to be non bearded though. It's also in the "ugly" stage from the looks of it. X2, except that that is a cute stage! not ugly haha I think my uglies are cute too. Never have I laid eyes on a baby silkie and thought ugly but ya know...

Quote: I second the using of wax if you don't want to toss the egg. A hairline crack is a lot more likely to not hatch and/or in my experience break open during incubation.

Quote: Hard to really judge quality at that age, especially going by photos only but I'd say NB or at least very sparsely bearded.
