Hi!
I have a question about two of my silkies. I bought three silkies at a poultry show. They are between three and six months old now. My white one is docile, very sweet, and very mellow; so I'm thinking she is a she. The woman I bought my buff and blue was honest with me, informed me that they are nearly impossible to sex until they get older. She helped me pick out a few that she said were "hennish" LOL. Well......lately I have been noticing that my blue and my buff seem to squabble a lot. Nothing harmful or violent just a lot of hopping/flapping wings at each other and minor pecks on the back. Seriously, they act like my kids do in the car. They have tons of room and honestly are kind of spoiled
I have other chickens in the run with them, and for the most part the silkies keep to themselves (I call them the three stooges). Could this behavior be indicating that they are young roo's?
THanks!!

Here is a pic of them now that they are older, if it even helps.......
They don't have much in the way of combs yet. The buff is the oldest of the two.
