    9 week old silkies

    Hello! I have two adorable silkies, unsure if they’re mixed or not, and I would like to have feedback on any guesses of what their sex may be (: I have a hunch that the darker colored one may be a roo and the lighter a pullet. The theoretical he is more bold while the other is a bit more shy.

    Sex of 18 Week Partridge Silkie
