I had 3 silkie shipped to me and this one is the only one that made it. It’s 3 weeks old! He was so sad to be a singleton and I search for another silkie with no luck. So I picked up 2 cute pullet Easter eggers and then made friends fast. But then this weekend I found what was advertised as sizzle chicks and I read that those are the same family as Silkies so I picked 2 up of those. They all seem to be getting along well. But I have a few questions

1. My silkie totally looks like a Roo to me I know they say it’s too early to tell but i definitely I’m getting boy vibes. What do you guys think

2. How do the know the Easter eggers are pullets? Here are pictures of them. What says there pullets?

3. The two sizzle chicks look like silkies to me. What is the difference and I feel like there so much smaller then the other at there age. Kinda hard to tell in the pictures but the so tiny.

4. Do you think the age difference will be an issue at all?

The chicks are probably vent checked for gender, it's usually about 90% accurate.
It's too early to tell the sex on the silkie, there are blood tests that you can get to tell sex or wait until confirmation either way. Sizzles, I think, are frizzled silkies, they could just be silkies, it's really hard to tell this young or at all.

Yes, it’s way to young to tell yet unless you get them tested.

Thank you 😊
