I posted about my silkie mixes 6 weeks back.

So here’s an update for take 2 on gender!
Paint Satin should now be 13-14 weeks, and Black frizzle is at 17 weeks or so, but she/he definitely has stunted growth, so don’t I wouldn’t use her age as any kind of reference.
Please pardon the dirty faces, i feed a fermented mash, and as a result they always seem to have food caked onto their face. Paint is also dirty looking from having dust bathed in some wood ash...
If you’re looking for streamers-
I trimmed the sides of paint’s crest around the eyes, but not the top.
Frizzle’s crest on the other hand, has pretty much been completely lopped off about 3 weeks ago.
I couldn’t get a comb image for the frizzle, i it’s similar in size to paint’s, but with an extra little ridged protrusion out the center.
also videos...
