Hi everyone, I've just rescued this little bird. I'm assuming it's a silkie, but could anyone help me on the gender? It still looks fairly young to me.
It definitely looks like a Silkie, do you know how old it is? Silkies are extremely hard to sex. A lot of times it isn't until they crow or lay an egg that you know for sure. I would suggest getting very clear close ups of any comb & wattle development & head shots. Then I would recommend you posting your question & new pictures on the Silkie forum. Someone on there might be able to help you out, good luck
is this any help? And yes, they are living in my bathroom for tonight lol, we have some pretty harsh cold weather outside.
Unfortunately she is not, I took her in last night from somebody who was keeping a swamp as a coop. A trip to the vets is due! Thanks for your help
Good, hope she'll get better. Good for you for rescuing her. I would recommend deworming her, especially if she was living "in a swamp."
