He comes from my pure white Silkie bantam mom and a bantam dad. You can't see the coloring but he has the most beautiful brown with a very dark gold. Number One and the last chick are definately hens. One of the moms is back sitting on a nest. These little silkie bantams are machines, its hard to keep them off eggs. We pull them they lay them if you miss one, just one, they are on it brooding. I think we need a bigger coop or two.
Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do.
