Does the sexing guide go for showgirls too? I did read it & I’m leaning towards Roo for this 12 week old showgirl but honestly I have no idea.

no streamers, clean comb im leaning pullet. out of my 5 silkies that i got mar 25 22 i got only 1 i aint sure of yet lol. they sound so different now. and mine seem giant and dont like handling even though they are handled daily to check the bands on their legs i use to identify them. and always held them when they were in the brooder. these little blighters are not what i excepted of silkies. i aint exactly happy with mine. and the female is super un happy to be handled.
