So, for the record book, my silkie let out his first crow at 14 weeks, 2 days. He had it mastered for a 5:40 morning alarm on Saturday - 14 weeks 4 days. I've started a new thread to try and help find him a new home. Anybody in Southwest Pennsylvania looking for a silkie rooster...

Mochi (gray) cockerel Mocha (brown) pullet

As Gina said, we all have other responsibilities.

I started a new thread (with new week-10 pictures!) where I'll continue to post pictures of my silkie until I get it figured out. Thank you Gina for letting me piggy-back on your thread in between rounds! https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/hoping-my-silkie-is-a-pullet.1474647/

I've never hatched eggs. Is there much variation in the chicks size at hatching? Is there any interpretation of the sizes that could be applied without a group of other chicks to compare? (not sure how that would work, considering how many other factors could apply. but it would be...

So far, I'm thinking Mocha is a girl and Mochi is a boy.

50% is right ... that's where I had the actual gender for RBk and RBu flip-flopped, so I gave my self 2 points instead of 2 dings. I'm also anxious to see how the weigh-ins/measurements match up to the gender reveal!

I would have let it go, but you're already keeping such detailed records, I figured you'd want them to be 100% accurate ... and I figured if this mixed up order affected my values, it likely affected others.

Except for week 2, everything now matches up. (I had the actual M/F results mixed up on RBk and RBu.)

You had Green on the bottom of week 2's picture.

Gina, At the risk of losing my trophy ... I'm not getting (PCTG) the same averages you are (Listed). .... I'm not sure if it's in how your accounting for RBf ... or if there's something else going on. I tried to make sure I copied these correctly, hopefully I did. I was trying to see how I...

At 1.5 weeks she was looking girly.

One of these day's I'll just have to get up the courage to pluck feathers or get a few drops of blood so that I can do a DNA test.

For those with some easter egger interest, I started a thread on my easter egger that is also 9 weeks old and we're hoping is a Pullet. Thanks! https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/easter-egger-pullet-or-cockerel.1472768/post-24535791

It's Thursday in London .... time for another practice round to help us through the waiting for the time zones to catch up. If you think this is a cockerel, please let me know if you also think it's time to re-home, or if it is worth waiting.

It's Thursday morning, in New Zealand!

Will there be trophies? :)
