Songster
She just turned 18 weeks old (4-ish months, she hatched on July 6th), she is a Buff Silky bantam and not a very nice one at that. She has always been very antisocial, hates being picked up, hates being petted, hates pretty much everything but her Mille Fluer d'Uccle pullet sister.
I've never owned a Silky before and unfortunately she was the only one in my order to survive (two Silkies died in the mail along with a Swedish Flower and a Black Frizzle Cochin, leaving my Buff Silky and d'Uccle alone, they live separately from the rest of the flock because of the silky), I have no experience telling Silky pullets and cockerels apart. I'd appreciate it if someone could point out the differences for future reference.
