    Questions about incubating eggs

    Hello everyone! :) My Silkie rooster is 6 months old and seems to be ahead of the curve in terms of physical maturity (he started crowing at 6 weeks and started trying to mount the hens pretty early, too). His sister started laying eggs, so I assume he’s also reached sexual maturity. We were...

    Anyone an expert silkie sexer and want to take a guess on these 8?

    They’re all around 8-10 weeks. I got them from a local feed store and they looked to be about a week or 2. I’ve had them a little under 8 weeks. I know silkies are hard to sex.
